Re: master level bot created?

First, I have to ask why is a University making a poker bot? Don't they have some real research to do.

Because making a bot for a task with incomplete information in a domain where natural learning is counterproductive is an incredibly interesting field.
Poker is well known, so it's easier to get grants. Which domain the bot actually operates on probably doesn't interest the researchers all that much. But poker is fairly well understood and popular, hence an easy choice.
