I really find this fascinating. Personally, I wouldn't mind sitting at a table full of bots, because I think I could take them... but I haven't actually seen one in action yet. But, based on the terrible play I see online constantly, I would think the bots could be quite successful by just playing mechanically - nothing fancy.
Does anyone have any solid Poker Tracker numbers from a significant sample of hands played by the bot? I wonder at what limit the BBs/hr starts to really drop and at what level the bot actually becomes a loser, if any.
As for the sites' defense against the bots, I am NOT a fan of them taking screen shots of my computer while I'm playing. What if I have (any kind of) sensitive info on the screen at the time? That's not cool at all.
