In Response To: How significant? (Chuck Bower)

2000 hands played is too little info to get statistically significant results. Might be enough in HU poker, maybe, I'm not sure of the stats on it. Humans won 1.15 BB per 100 hands, which is pretty good. So all in all, it looks like the humans are the better players, although it's not all that easy to say by how much.

Kind of like the chess man-machine duels with Hydra. Consensus seems to be that Hydra is much better than any human player (or so we think), but since it's only played 6 games ever against one opponent, it's not really easy to tell.
