there is no way bots can handle a real player in NL, keep dreaming. how will it make decisions based off so little information?

Why do you think it will have little information? For that matter, what information do you feel is available in limit that is not in NL? The bot can play with a HUD even better than you can, as it doesn't need to constrain which chunks of the database it will look at to what will fit nicely on a screen, and it can think about these things much faster, so it can process more of that information in comparable time.

basically the bots wont be able to adapt as quickly, and whatever algorithm it bases its decisions off of will be highly exploitable. Either it will be highly bluffable, unbluffable and highly value bet vulnerable or it will be a random variance surfing spewbot

I would expect bots to be less exploitable than typical humans, since if you're going to the trouble of programming a bot, you might as well throw some game theory in there for mixups. EDIT: Furthermore, I think it would be quite easy to program a bot to figure out who the winning players were based on datamining and then either a) avoid sitting with those players, or b) sit with them, but avoid playing big pots with them. Then the bot can just focus on picking off the fish where it doesn't even really have to worry about mixing up too much.

I think programming a bot would be pretty interesting/fun, but I think the temptation to "try it out" after building one would be strong.
