time for an actual answer with context the best players in the world lost to a heads up bot which was programmed well there have not yet been bots made to compete 9 handed that are up to standard to beat the best in the world. So currently yes Bots are beatable and a highly skilled poker player could beat some bots.
However please note what I am saying a highly skilled poker player. not your average run of the mill ABC grinder or guy like me who makes min wage from the game which is better then most of the poker community.
In fact a lot of grinders play still tends to be learned hand charts and mass multi tabling ABC poker. many players are profitable doing this and so yes bots can be programmed better then this.
I know a lot of poker players think good poker play is been unpredictable and random so will sometimes try moves like playing 102 off suit as if it is pocket aces. The generic trend is either to never do this sort of thing or to do it far to often and think your the next Tom Dwan patrick Antanious etc etc.
I never do those sort of plays and have produced my own hand charts and this is a tight range but one thing about my whole system of play is it is combos eg i will be
bluffing some of the time but will have the goods some of the time to calculated in the right ratios players do not get the
odds to play back at me. Which for some reason they always do which leads to me been profitable.
Now imagine instead of me doing this you have an actual program that has done a huge amount of math and algorithms it will be much stronger at constructing this sort of play. eventually bots will be made that are literally unbeatable. a bot will have programmed variance into it.
people imagine they will be playing a bot that plays tight raises with AK check folds when they miss and bets when they have it or something like C bets with AK when they miss and check folds on the turn if they dont improve. first of this sort of play is profitable at low stakes though is definitely exploitable secondly bots would be better programmed then that.
The vast majority of players are losing to bots its that simple. and eventually all players will lose to bots.
