- taway_1212 10y agoThe machines are only starting to beat people in HU (that is, the two player variant of poker). What most people play is 6 or 10 people variant, where complexity goes through the roof. Additionally, those AIs (unless there's some novel development that I'm missing) are about play game-theoretically optimal (GTO) strategy, which won't do that well in real casino setting - because most profits for professional players come from "fishes" (amateurs making terrible plays), whose weaknesses they map and ruthlessly exploit. A GTO bot is unable to do that.
