Plus, if these guys were so mega genius that they could produce a PLO "dream machine", I don't think that they would need Doug's super unique expertise in order to develop one for NL. And even if they did, we would have have heard about them being the new NL end bosses, right?
I never made any claims or suggestions about what this "magical software", I simply said
custom software.
I think it is very likely as you say some sort of Game Theory solver /GT strategy estimator for PLO...that is what Alix Martin's public videos were showing doing 5+ years ago for easier problems.
Even with GT software, such as Pio Solver, knowing an opponents thoughts on strategy and also their knowledge of how the field plays, is very useful. You can test those strategies against the theory and also look to develop minimial deviation strategies to exploit their mistakes.
Remember until about 2 years, PokerJuice didn't even exist. the PLO market was severely under-served by game specific analytical tools. ProPokerTools (which PJ is build on) could give you equities, but didn't allow the sort of strategy development that PJ now allows.
Imagine if Doug told Ben the specific exploitable strategy weaknesses in Sauce's HU game, that allowed Doug to profit for a lot of money in their challenge. Sauce won't play Doug anymore, but he might play Ben as he thinks he is behind the curve on HU NL.
