*I just RTFA, and I now understand that the robot plays a limited game where only certain fixed amount bets were allowed.
Amateurs are way more likely to bluff, or stay in the game with a mediocre hand.

I play very differently against my amateur coworkers on "poker night", than I would against a pro in Vegas. Without some knowledge of the guy's history, and his relationship with the other players, it is hard to say. If your opponent suddenly makes a big bet, what does that mean? He could have a hot hand, he could be bluffing, or he could just be trying to run up the pot. Just knowing the odds isn't enough, because all bets are not for the same amount*. So someone with a poor hand could be running up the pot so his teammate can win. For instance, two or more opponents could collaborate. Wouldn't another robot which knows of all possible decisions of this particular robot be better that this "Perfect Robotic Player"?

I'm reasonably interested in whether this poker strategy is a probabilistic one (that can't be outpredicted as long as the random number generator used is sufficiently high-quality), or whether it just takes the best option without randomizing (which is much easier to implement, but which can be outplayed via knowledge of the algorithm like you suggest). I'm actually quite interested in the theory of this sort of game (where there are random factors and outguessing opponents involved), and even in simple cases, the calculations can be hard. That's not true of poker, though in such a case, a perfect strategy will have a better than 50% chance of beating anyone who plays imperfectly, and a 50% chance against a perfect strategy (due to symmetry).
Rock/paper/scissors is unusual in that the game is symmetrical: a perfect strategy can't get any better than 50:50 against anyone. There is nothing an opponent can do to get more than a 50:50 chance of beating this strategy. For instance, the mathematically perfect strategy for rock/paper/scissors is to pick "rock", "paper", and "scissors" each with 1/3 probability. Mathematically speaking, all these games which are based around predicting what your opponent might do (and possibly a random factor, like in poker) have a perfect strategy, but that perfect strategy has random factors.
