Chess vs. Poker vs. Computer

that's because a computer can see every possible play whereas humans can only evaluate the plays they can find. this is different in poker, where every possible play is already known and can be analyzed.

when do you ever find yourself in exactly the same situation twice in poker? Never: there are too many variables. You might have the same cards and be sitting in the same position, relative to your opponent twice. And be playing against the same opponent. But even the two situations here are not the same. The opponent might have changed psychologically in some way.

In my opinion no program will be able to play poker at world class level, there is too much human intuition involved.
