Default Re: Wired article re: Poker Bots

Maybe if he is that good that he has decided to eliminate any timing tells, and uses the bot-like behaviour to affect the psychology of his opponents?

After all, the HU bots produced by the research time behind Poki were pretty good, but still flawed. The pseudo-optimal bot is pretty easy for any decent HU player. The bot that characterises opponents is (reportedly) awesome, but takes thousands of hands to characterise opponents. Not good online.

If there is a HU bot better than this, it most be some seriously clever people behind it. Clever enough to make it appear non-bot like, surely?

I can't explain the 20hrs a day thing, so I stand to be corrected....
