Poker is not really all about money. Plenty of games might only ask you to stake like $5 but the joy and aim of the game is really to outplay the table, not take home $25.

For the purpose of AI "conquering" poker the money makes a huge difference.

Would you play the same way if you were betting your life savings versus $5?

No, but my play would deteriorate at the high stakes. A computer would play the most optimal strategy it can regardless.
