> the rake is 0.100 per game so you will be ahead by 0.100 ppg.

Doesn't 5% rake mean 0.050 per game?

Yes, I suggested that we should set up the match (or Money session) for Top human vs Top bot. It is silly that we don't have it since Nack vs Jerryfish. You might think the result is obvious, but it should be proved. Also we will have a data that how much edge does computer has (or human has!) as in 2010(2011).

Alternatively, we could ask top 10 players to play against computer 100 games each and bet on results. (for example, if player A finish +5 and B finish -19, B has to pay 24points to A) It could be better way to promote the event because we can compete with humans but still collect date of top humans against top bots.

I doubt that I will lose 0.16 points / game but I am no clue how much it should be. I will play money game against computer if I am given 61 in the opening , which is actually 0.16 edge according to XGR+. Any backers for bot?
