Re: unexploitable nl play
[ QUOTE ]
the idea of finding such a system for poker - where there is the added randomness of cards and unknown information - is on such a scale of magnitude so much harder that it isn't even feasible to consider the possibility yet.
i suspect such a sytem is theoretically possible, but I can't imagine it being developed within the near future.

That may be true for hold-em but not for all forms of poker. Game theory has already been developed for draw poker and probabaly could be (or maybe has been) for similar games where there are only 2 rounds of betting.
I'm not sure if having exposed cards makes it more complex, or if it is just because of the multiple rounds of betting, but with stud and hold-em, I agree that even if possible, it would probably take a mathemetician a lifetime to develop such a strategy, and then you would need to be an android like Data to use it in practice, able to draw on an encyclopedic memory and do instantaneous calculations for each betting round.
