Ali Eslami is a high limit limit holdem player who plays mainly at the Commerce.

Yeah, and limit hold'em isn't his best game at all IMO, though he is certainly tough, but he's not like Joe Cassidy tough. I wonder how he got affiliated with this, he isn't really known by the casual poker fan.

Big difference if this is limit or NL...

Also, 2000 hands is laughable

Though the hands are randomly generated, they will be mirror matches, which is why they are using two pros.

In hand #354, it might be AJo vs. 44 on a board of AJ4T9. One of the human players will have AJo playing against the program's 44 and the other human player will have 44 playing against the program's AJo.

Laak is good enough to beat up on some HSNL live games (like really big) but as I understand from reading some of his stuff he has awsome game selection (not to say that he is very good and capable, I assume he is)

Well it doesn't really matter if either pro is the best, over even that great compared to other high stakes pros. if the computer plays at all competitively, which i am almost certain it will, then that is pretty strong evidence of computers being capable of earning a programmer a living at HU poker.

also, just a general LOL to all the people who think poker is so special that computers won't be able to compete at it. Humans are horribly are estimating statistics, and behaving randomly two things that are very important in poker.

also short and medium stack NL holdem would be much easier to solve than limit holdem, far fewer decisions.
