Default Re: Is there a perfect NLHE Bot? Could there be?


Poker is not chess. There is no way to determine what "perfect play" means unless you could second-guess the thought process of all your opponents. In order to do that you'd need a vast amount of data in advance (more than can be collected in a reasonable time).

For every strategy there is a counter strategy. I think any poker-playing robot could always be defeated by a "better one" that exploits its predictable behaviour.
