> it knows with 100% certainty that it has an unbeatable hand

While your example is a good one, the bot actually doesn't have an unbeatable hand. Another player could have trips or 4/5 of a straight flush and hit a better hand (quads or a straight flush) on the turn/river. Or the board could pair twice and give someone a full house. Unlikely in any case, but not out of the realm of possibilities by any means.

Haha damnit, you're right. Thanks for pointing that out!
anyone with 130k hands would've caught that :)

but seriously, he means if the board is like: 2c 3c 7c Tc 4h, (not that he'd get much value from the guy with the lone Jc, though)

think of how easy squeezing is with two colluding bots.

The problem was that I changed the example after typing everything up. The first contrived example I came up with used a hand that Bot 1 wouldn't have realistically thrown away. My fault for not proof-reading :D
