Fish play bad all the time, not that "simple" to fake inexpensively. The computer can treat any borderline players as experts and use game theory, while cleaning out the fish with special modules.

What I don't understand is how the computer will know it's playing a fish, borderline player or expert. Are you talking about programming a bot on an online site? Or are you talking about a stand-alone machine that the players will know they're playing? If the latter, I don't think the computer has a chance against the expert, not in the near future anyway. And the expert will win more off the bad players.

And not just for David's reasons. You would need a world class player who can also disect what he does to help program the machine. Even then, there are so many variables I doubt it can be done. For one thing, a computer can't read tells. So an expert will win more off the fish than the computer.
