I believe that the poker bots met the mark for two player games and that Omaha/7-Stud are both not much of an issue and wouldn’t actually be required in any way, but actually winning the WSOP requires mostly winning at 9-10 person tables. I do realize that there are claims they’ve been able to handle that, but doing it in person is… trickier. Probably need another level of improvement before they have a reasonable shot at winning.
(Note that WSOP is a good structure but even so is still pretty random, so e.g. I would win it some % of the time if I entered, whereas if I played the type of match they used to test the poker bots, my chances would be about epsilon.)
Another thing is that the bots never make exploits. So when there’s a bad player at the table playing 95% of their hands, the bot would never try to capitalize on that, whereas any human professional player would be able to make extra money off the bad player. Therefore, the bot’s advantages over human professionals are highest if the competition is especially though.
