Re: Poker bots and HU Limit
[ QUOTE ]
I am wondering what methods the poker sites will have to use to protect people in the future though, it seems as if things will probably have to start getting fairly invasive (ex; taking periodic screen shots, disabling IM programs, complex analysis of play patterns, who knows.)

I know that I thought it would be fairly easy to do...esp. given our comp. sci. and programming backgrounds.
I remember the first things we discussed were complex detection prevention strategies. One of the most simple problems was the duration a bot would play. That's pretty easy to solve and randomize.
In the end, I think there will have to be fairly complex play pattern detection algorthms/applications written along w/ some sort of human verification system.
Studies on hand histories by Steven Levitt (of Freakonomics fame) hopefully will reveal something interesting.
