Default Re: Online poker’s days are numbered ?

Many thanks for your replies so far.

Perhaps detection could be a problem for the sites. You could use a second PC, that wasn't even connected to the internet ...

Another chess analogy: There are actually internet chess tournaments with cash prizes. The hosts (eg Chessbase) use advanced engine detection programs, that exclusively analyze playing style (since the cheaters are using second computers). It is quite common that engine users are caught.
I don't know if such software can be written for poker, but I assume the sites will try.
