Default Re: Which Game Requires Most Talent?

One way to think about it is that the bot plays perfect defense. It's not going to lose. It will however only win what your ineptitude gives it.

Phil Ivey plays damn near perfect defense, so the bot is going to beat him very slowly.

But the bot is also going to beat you very slowly, because while you play worse defense than Ivey it's still hopefully not really attrocious.

Ivey also plays damn near perfect offense. So he is going to capitalize on your mistakes majorly. While you both lose to the bot it will take Phil longer to lose to the bot. And Phil is going to bust you much, much faster than the bot does.

Get the metaphor?
