I thought myself the same. However if players do expose each others weaknesses fast enough it could lead to a chip gain which might be hard to overcome right? Just in theory ofc. :)
This is a great question. I wonder how this bot would do in a game with a couple of pros and a couple of reasonably skilled amateurs?
Still well, I suspect, since straightforward theoretically-correct poker will take money off the amateurs efficiently. But it seems possible that playing to wipe out weaker or less consistent players could provide enough margin to bully the more stable AI player.
This is true in tournament play. In a cash game it doesn't matter since there is no elimination, you can always rebuy.
And it's not like in the movies where if you don't have the money to call a bet, you lose. You simply are considered all in for the main pot and then sidepots that you aren't eligible to win will be created for any bets you can't cover.
