Wonder how long it will be until there is a crowdsourced AI winning the World Series of Poker?

Very very long. First of all, this bot was capably only of analysing heads up play. At the WSOP there can be maximum 10 players at the table, and with each extra player, the number of combinations to analyse grows exponentially.

Second, in the WSOP it is key to exploit weaker opponents. This bot was able to find almost perfect play against expert opponents but exploiting weak play is a different ballgame, especially if you are facing a mix of strong and weak players at a multi handed table.

Really long. It will still have to get lucky, or at least avoid being unlucky. This is why amateurs routinely crash the final table instead of just pros.

These are heads up matches. The WSOP is 10 handed tables. I would guess the algorithms' skills may not work quite as well in 10 handed play.

Are non-human players allowed to play?
