Do you expect the human players to play at the best of their ability when they're not playing for actual real money?

There was real money at stake in this experiment. The pros were guaranteed $0.40 per hand just for participating, but that could increase to $1.60 per hand depending on how well they did.

To answer your question, no, I don't think human players would play at their best when not playing for actual money.

Sorry, I meant for way less than they typically play.
