The AI within the computer opponents is extremely poor, and it is possible to beat the game at all levels and formats by playing loose-passive and loose-aggressive strategies.
Some examples of the weak AI include:
- It is possible to play every single hand and the opponents do not adapt to such loose play.
- It is possible to win every hand where your opponents do not hold the nuts with a bluff.
- Opponents do not seem to consider pot odds at all, and will often fold to a minimum bet that may represent a tiny fraction of the pot.
Thus it is possible to beat the game by either raising or limp-calling preflop on every single hand dealt, then making small bets on later streets with any two cards.
As with most computer poker simulations, the game can teach very little about strategy against human opponents, whether online or in B&M casinos, and indeed playing is likely to lead to flawed thinking and unrealistic strategies.
