Default logic

assumption 1 : there is a mathmatically correct way to play poker that guarentees winning in the long run.

assumption 2 : this "correct" play is known.

assumption 3 : We have the ability to program a computer to play using this strategy exclusively

assumption 4 : the computer or "bot" will follow this strategy perfectly every hand it plays, always making the correct mathmatical play.

conclusion : since the computer can never go "on tilt" and play "wrong" building a "bot" that will win consistently in the long run, and post guarenteed profit, is possible

sounds fairly simple to me

to say the perfect bot can't be built, you need to disprove any of the 4 assumptions i made...otherwise, the perfect bot has to be able to exist

and i know, i am not a math wiz, i am looking at it from a logic perspective, so...math guru's, i can't discuss odds with you, nor am i a computer tech, so i can't discuss programming with you...however, NONE OF THAT INVALIDATES THE ARGUEMENT. simply because i can't program it myself, because i don't understand all the math involved in poker, or that I lack any programming knowledge of an advanced level, doesn't discount the logic. it is logically possible.
