RE: [ba-poker] Bots

["Bill Chen" <wchen_8369(deleted the rest)>]

Well just because a supercomputer the size of half a room can beat
kasparov, does this mean chess is ruined by computers? Poker, especially
NL is a little different than chess.   Maybe someone can develop a
program that can beat the best players online--that will be quite a
triumph, and I don't begrudge him for winning a little online.   

Yes, there may come a day where there are so many bots and they are good
enough to ruin online poker.  But that day is not tomorrow and it won't
be next year.

Gary Kasparov probably once felt the same way.

Poor Bill . . . stuck in a frozen, poker-deprived state . . .  cut off
from  
verifiably human players . . . whistling in the dark about bots . . .

come back, Bill!
