Is there a perfect NLHE Bot? Could there be?

[jonny quest]

A BOT is only as "good" as the human who designed/programmed it.

That said, we know a computer program can do the following:

- collect relevant player and game data, including win rates, opponents' cards and wagers, and other stats. PokerTracker is good example of such software.
- make game relevant calculations regarding pot odds, EV, hand strength, showdown calculations. PokerAcademy is but one example of such simulation software.
- process complex formulas, involving a great many variables (both random and fixed), quickly and efficiently, and render decisions based on these formulas.

In short a well designed BOT, can process much of the information that is discussed in these forums.

Starting hand requirements. Wagering strategies. Opponent analysis. When a computer program can integrate sound poker principles regarding position, stack size, opponents’ historical play…with the addition of game theory concepts such as optimum bluffing frequency… a BOT may emerge capable of beating many human beings.
