this is ridiculous. Its like putting george bush in a chess match vs deep blue and declaring him the representative of mankind.

I am sure Laak will make easy work on the computer. In fact, his gf probably could too. You don't need a top pro for this.

I thought Phil Hellmuth would be all over this. Not only does is he the self proclaimed "best No-limit champ in the world) he also tried to put his image on anything and everything.

My money's on Laak, and I don't think it will be particularly close.

i am guessing i am really being the contrarian here but i am very happy the match is limit holdem (more action, more decisions per hand, especially heads up) and i am rooting for the computer to win just to help put to rest the notion that this game is absurdly complex and that humans have a huge edge at the game (a computer has/or very soon will have a much bigger edge at estimating equity, ranges, and calculating/executing optimal bluffing frequencies).

This is handwaving. It should be easy for computers to speak perfect English too, there are only so many words (each of which can be defined by smaller words), and a small set of grammar rules, and computers are very powerful.

Do you have evidence?
