Re: Poker AI

Beating 90% of the players online might make you a breakeven player but hardly a winner.

I think this is a huge exageration.

You have little understanding of how difficult it would be to write a poker bot that could beat even 50% of the online players. The incomplete information is overwhelming. An exception would be if your bot played against the same 9 oponnents in a 10 handed ring game for 50,000 hands or so. Then it might become one of the best players in this particular game but would go back to being mediocre if several new players were introduced. This would only be true of an extremely advanced AI program far more advanced than even POKI.

I never said it would be easy, but I think you are vastly overestimating the ability of an average player. Someone could probably write a bot that just plays ABC by the book poker and it would probably be a winner. If the bot could be tied into a database similar to pokertracker and played max-tables 24/7 it would have a huge database of player information to work with. As for POKI, I think it would probably do pretty well in an online game.
