An argument for "game of open information" isn't enough, cause vast amount of simulations can cause this lack of info close to "completely enough" i believe. If so - online and live poker will be dead, cause once it's real online - more people will (as already do for some house games) will bring miniaturized devices with them.

Although I agree that bots are a huge threat to destroying online poker, I do not think I would say the same for live poker. I think stopping the miniaturized devices would not be too difficult, although I could have the wrong impression about how they work. In any case, the end of online poker would have a huge effect on live poker.

But i also understand that we cannot defend against bots-infesting online and live. This is a law of progress i guess. AI can make a lot of things better than a human today and will make a lot morethings better than a human tomorrow. We can only make this progress slower like oil companies force invention of new kinds of fuel to stay as slow as possible.

Although I am more pessimistic than most, I am not yet convinced that this is inevitable. Does anybody with programming experience have a comment on this?
