Default Re: Poker AI

I disagree, I think a well written computer program would be a disater to online poker.

A program that could customize its play based on opponents past play history, could use game theory optimally, and could play without any tilt-issues would destroy online poker, even NL. Sure some players might be able to beat it, but I would guess that even a moderate computer program would be capable of beating 90%+ of the players online.

Think of it like chess, most chess players even ones who are pretty good probably can't even beat a storebought chess program set to max difficulty. If the poker equivalent of Deep Blue (or whatever the top chess program) were to be developed, I would be quite worried.
