"Count me skeptical. Good players eat such systems for snacks."
You're thinking about it wrong. As he mentions, your bot doesn't play against good players. It plays .5/1 or 1/2 nl and makes a shit ton of money if it just breaks even. There aren't good players at those levels, because anyone who was good would win and quickly move up. You only need all of your if/then statements to add up to being better than the worst 5% of poker players, and that's not that hard to do. I know only because I've done it.
Thats why extensible rules based systems are better than you think. They can get you to that with a good amount of work. Especially in short stack nl games. They're clearly not going to win at a $5/$10 nl table or a $215 SNG. But they don't need to to rake in millions per year.
Also I should mention, that with the exception of heads up, good players (at least by my definition of the word good) eat even the UofA's AI for snacks.
