Writing a winning poker bot is not trivial, you are unknowingly spreading false information.

Hmm… there are multiple variants of poker, at least one was weakly solved in 2015. I guess one could implement their algorithm. But I don’t know if the weakly solved variant of poker is popular?

That bot only solved 1-on-1 poker ("heads up"). It's much more difficult with more players.
