It would randomize its bets in ways that are well beyond even the best players. Instead, an AI player has to randomize its actions so as to make opponents uncertain when it is bluffing.' 'Poker has been one of the hardest games for AI to crack, because you see only partial information about the game state,' says Andrew Ng, who helped found Google's central AI lab and is now chief scientist at Baidu.

Humans are so often in the mix, too, actively improving, running, or augmenting the AI. It's not just that AI spans many technologies. If that seems unfair, well, it's how AI works. 'It could compute this overnight and have everything in place the next day,' he says.
Each evening, Brown would run an algorithm that could identify those patterns and remove them. That's why Brown and Sandholm built a third system.
But Kim and the other players could still find patterns in the machine's play and exploit them.
These two systems alone would have been effective.
