Chess vs. Poker vs. Computer

[djames]

I thought it was common knowledge that the only reason computers can't dominate multi-handed poker games is due to computing power. The search trees in heads up limit hold 'em are still gigantic, however programs exist that crush most players. The UC Alberta site has such programs and have posted results against a player whom they state is "world class." If you read their research, they state that computing power is the bottleneck which prohibits multi-game world class poker programs. Nothing more.
