Easy with 16 tetra of ram

And tanking for 1+ mins on turn and river decisions (it would time out in real online poker). And $10M in computer resources. But impressive nonetheless.

Eh, I'll tank for a few minutes in live poker. I don't mind that the computer does too.

I would love to know where they got their training data or if there's one publicly available.

This is not neural net. It uses an algorithm called counterfactual regret minimization to compute the Nash equilibrium of the game, no data required.

Honestly, this doesn't look to be a true test of who is better at poker. Poker is not like chess - a lot of emotions are involved in reading another players' cues (if he is touching his face, whether he is talking nervously, how quickly does he call all in etc.). Making all this computerized seems to take the spirit of poker away. It is like playing online poker which is an entirely different ball game vs. real poker…

Only bad players have readable tells.

Physical tells are almost entirely Hollywood nonsense. When a professional player talks about getting a read on someone, they are talking about probabilities combined with the opponent's position at the table and a history (even a short history) of that player's betting/play patterns.

This is not true at all. If you play online vs live then yes. But physical tells are absolutely still thing, and Im not talking the way you crack an oreo.

Not a poker expert, but I've seen videos of pro-poker players demonstrating their reading ability with random people picking cards.
