Default Re: Bots - quote from a chessmaster to discuss

Bots will most likely totally dominate humans heads-up in a not too distant future in both limit and no limit texas hold'em. Because that game is completely soluble using game theory.

Now as soon as you add a third player it's not been shown that it's soluble. For full ring the problem is even worse.

In the long run I think there will be bots that play better than most strategy forum regulars here do. If they will in fact be able to beat the best in the world is less certain.

And a bot that can both beat Doyle at a full table and at the same time extract more from the fish than he does is probably way further off than a manned mission to Mars.

The problem is that the math to solve multiplayer non-cooperative partial-information games doesn't exist other than in embryonic form today. So any implementation of said math is even further off.
