Default Re: Bots and the future of online poker

[ QUOTE ]
disj, not sure if you are agreeing with me or not but what you say is my point. bots can evaluate how dry a flop is relative to a hand range far better than i can. imagine if i had an hour to make every decision. i would run pokerstove and play perfectly against my opponents estimated range. big advantage imo. a bot could go even further bc it wouldnt have to estimate the range. bigger advantage.

I agree with your general theme here. That said, the bot is still always going to be estimating ranges based on the data it already has. It would probably do a pretty good job just matching up VPIP/PFR with positional information to likely ranges that fall in those percentages, but it will miss things every now and then. I don't see much reason to think that it would do worse than a person, if you did that right, though.
