While I admire the endeavor, a computer cannot beat a good professional player. It's not like chess where the computer has a huge advantage over a human by being able to calculate hundreds of thousands of moves in a fraction of a second. Yes, poker has a lot of math, but it's pretty simple and a human can easily come close enough to a computer to basically eliminate that advantage.

I'm not saying a computer will never be better. Just not with our current technology and resources.
