Playing no limit, a bot would have to handle an opponent who makes a big bet in an attempt to induce the bot to fold. Moreover, bluffing isn't as crucial in Limit b/c you have little leverage to push somebody off their hand. Many people will chase because the pot odds or their own playing style demand it. Finally, NL or Limit are both poker. In fact, they're both Texas Hold'em. So "quite literally" i respectfully disagree with your assessment. I'm not a professional poker player, but I did work with one to build a bot about 9 years ago on top of WinHoldem. It was more or less a break even bot on PokerStars if left to play itself, but its real value to that team was as a force multiplier. It made multi-tabling easier, raising interrupts whenever the bot woke up with a hand. I'm not one for online debates, so feel free to have the last word. To put it another way, I check in the dark.
