if you are an expert you should know what the bot picks as # 1, and know the best response and third roll to these responses.

It makes sense that you should know the best 2nd, 4th, 6th, ... roll plays, but do you really need to know the best 3rd and 5th roll plays if you never play the bot's #1? Given that one's memory is limited, surely it makes sense to focus on mastering one's own repertoire rather than someone else's repertoire.

Is PR calculated in the optimal way?

What Bob means is whether Snowie ER or some other measure might be better than PR. For example, PR counts a cube decision as trivial if your equity is sufficiently negative and doubling is incorrect, but there are examples (Bob posted one here a while back) where such a decision could be very difficult.
