Bots only win at 1v1 limit poker. No bot can play professional no-limit poker, especially at a full table.

Again, the best humans are much, much better at poker than the best bots. The idea that optimal NL poker is computationally solvable and not demanding is just wrong. No one has solved it yet.

Out of curiousity, if computers were better to become poker players than humans (this is highly likely, in the long run), what would you say then?

Stop playing poker online unless you have a bot to play for you or a software tool to enhance and regulate your play.
