It will be used as a debugging session... it's 24-yr-old grad students figuring things out... just wait... in the end, it won't even be close...

The machine already beats humans at the limit variations of poker. It's the no limit aspects that will always make it tough. Essentially, the computer is and will be forced to bluff and try to pick off bluffs that involve substantial amounts of money. There will always be a lot of variance involved.

Computers can deal with variance scenarios better than people can... people can only have a small number of scenario's in their head at one time... this is the kind of thing computers are good at, once the people programming them figure out how to optimize what they're doing... AFAIK, the computer in question here had previously been playing vs. other computers... now, it's gonna be learning new stuff...
Personally, I expect they'll use Bayesian nets to get the human poker player's number, and then the computer will play him like a violin... but we'll see...
