Most people here need to look into what OPTIMAL in a gametheoretic sense means.
It doesn't mean optimal in the way people normally use it.
A player playing gametheoretically optimal will beat ALL other players.
That is however not the same thing as playing the most exploitative poker against every single player.
So the perfect bot would beat all the other players in the world, including the best human but if the bot plays the worst pokerplayer in the world and so does the best human player then the best human player might beat the worst human player for more money than the bot would beat the worst human player.
- mattmaroon 18y agoWon't a player playing gametheoretically optimal tie with all other players? That's what my math-nerd poker friends all tell me.
- schtog 18y agoIn for example roshambo that is the case but not in poker. Poker has dominated strategical choices so someone playing gametheorhetically optimal will beat someone that doesn't. Of course if his opponent is also playing GT-optimally they will tie. Then of course there is rake to consider so if the opponent plays close enough to GT-optimal you might both still lose if the rake is high.
