How well would a bot do in a human tournament?

Just to elaborate a little, there are two types of exploitation we might be talking about here:

(1) Exploiting bot weaknesses. If a human player knows that a bot is weak, say, at certain kinds of deep back games, how often and how easily (i.e., how much equity does he have to give up) will the human be able to steer the game into one which the bot cannot play well?

(2) Exploiting human weaknesses. Persumably top humans are better at identifying weak opponents and moving the game to positions that weaker players are poor at playing. (Are there any bots that vary their strategy depending on the strength of their opponent?) So the question is, how often will stronger players be able to do that, and how much extra equity will they gain? Say a bot can crush a weak human opponent 75% of the time. Could a top human get 85% out of the same opponent?
