"What caught my attention in the first place was that these players always delay a few seconds before they act pre- and post-flop, except when they have an easy fold decision pre-flop. An obvious example which come up rather frequently: Pre-flop. Player A raises, Bot 3-bets and Player B caps. Player A calls, Bot thinks for a few seconds before it calls the cap. This is an obvious call for pretty much all poker players, but these "bots" _always_ thinks for a few seconds in these spots. Strange me thinks."

A good programmer would never have a timing tell in his play. This would be his first concern to avoid detection.

I read bot threads on here 5 or 6 years ago and the consensus (led by the omniscient David Sklansky) was that it was highly unlikely a successfull bot could be written for anything but Heads up play(and possibly Omaha hi low at the lower limits). What has occurred since then to change opinions on this? Has Sklansky changed his stance on this issue?
