Also, I'm not entirely sure what the AI is doing in here that could not just be calculated... Could you explain that in more detail?

  Regarding the AI, this is a machine-trained agent. Basically you start of with a bot with zero understanding of how to player poker - it’s presented with the available moves (eg call, check, fold, raise etc) and initially it just picks one at random, and records both the game state and result. So when it first tries to play, it has absolutely no idea what it’s doing any loses badly. However, it learns a little from each game it plays, and gradually, over the course of literally millions more games of poker, it learns how to beat the opposition. It has an awareness of the overall game state, rather than the specific hand it holds and eventually learns that the opposition may fold it it raises, regardless of the cards on the table
