Online poker’s days are numbered ?

So, (if I understand correctly), it would be difficult for the sites to detect someone using a program that advised them how to play.

Perhaps I'm right to be concerned in that case.

There'd be plenty of market for a program like that, if it could win money for you.

Unless it's illegal somehow to actually *sell* such a program(?) surely there will be some in development soon.

Are you asking about bots or are you talking about programs like Hold'em Assistant or whatever it's called? Sounds to me like your OP was asking about programs that help a player decide what to do not bots.

I'm thinking of programs that advise you what to do next.

I guess they could be marketed as tutorial-type software, but if they get to be good and then widespread, will they change the face of online poker ?

(I've never heard of "Hold'em Assistant" - is that what it does ?)

Require players to play with webcams focused on them and their setup. This wouldn't necessarily need to be broadcast to the players, and it wouldnt have to be monitored all the time obviously. This would be a pain in the ass and drive off a lot of players, but it would work.
