Re:BIG DEAL. They are talking about LIMIT hold'em! (Score 1)

I don't care how well such a program is coded... it will absolutely buckle under the pressure of a professional who constantly bets half his stack on nothing. The machine would turn into a professional folding station that only plays AA, KK, or AK. Guess what? That strategy isn't winning any games or any period of time in a no-limit or pot-limit world.

This is where the machine learning comes into play. Each time the human bets half her stack right off the bat, the machine lowers its calling (and raising) standards.
