I'm not a heads-up pro. But I know a number of them who were at the top
level of the game before people basically stopped playing limit hold'em
heads-up for real money. Linked below is an article by one of these pros,
who made millions playing and is well-respected as one of the best.

The IGT bot has nothing in common with this one, except that they are both
computer programs that play the same game.
The claims in this thread are backed with essentially zero evidence. The
claims the UofA team has made are backed by a number of peer-reviewed
papers, and the scrutiny over at least 8 years of some of the top players
in the world. There's not much else to say.
