master level bot created?

[Mr Gee]

I think there are two different points here:

1. Can you develop a poker program that can beat humans?

2. If so would you get huge numbers of these bots playing online poker and ruining the game for us?

I don't think we need to worry about the first question too much, because poker sites do not and will not tolerate bots. If Party can already scan your hard drive when it wants, and check your running processes, you'd have to be pretty dedicated and tech savvy to stand a chance at avoiding detection. Some bots may get through, but not in large enough numbers to have any serious effect on the game.
