I don't get this... Poker isn't pure mathematical... it has emotions involved (greed, fear, belief, reading others, manipulations (to fool the opponent)... and may be more... and all of these emotions arises differently for different people based on their time, place, their world view, their background and history...) Are we now saying that a computer can do this all in simulation? if so, it's a great break through in human history.

At the nosebleeds, poker hasn't been around those things in a long time. Poker is about exploitative play against people who base their play off emotions, and unperfect game theory optimal against players who don't base their play off emotions. The more perfect the GTO play is, the higher the winrate against the latter group, but higher stakes games are built around one or more bad players - pros will literally stop playing as soon as the fish busts.
