rtificial intelligence programs have bested humans in checkers, chess, Go and two-player poker, but multi-player poker was always believed to be a bigger ask. Mission: accomplished.
Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University, working with Facebook's AI initiative, announced Thursday that their program defeated a group of top pros in six-player no-limit Texas hold 'em.

Unless they were playing for real money, then this test is not valid. Poker is a game of observation, strategy and having the guts to bluff or call a bluff. If you have no “skin in the game” then bluffing is a waste of time. The machine will call your bluff every time. At that point it is just the luck of the draw.
I thought poker was won by people that could see into their other opponents’ heads.
I don’t doubt that games like poker, chess, checkers can be played better by a machine. Machine game playing doesn’t interest me.
Wonder how it bluffs?
That should be a big blow to online poker, but it probably won’t. I suspect that many online power matches you are playing against a combine anyway.
Only a single deck is used in poker. Hold em is no exception.
Sure way to get wiped out, unless you know a bluff when you see it.
