Victor there are just so many little rules that you know, but you don't know you know. What's a dry flop and what's a drawy flop, for instance.

I'm no computer expert but I can't see how this wouldn't be ridiculously easy to program.

I have no doubt that bots can and will be programmed to beat most low- mid-stakes NL poker games in the not too distant future. The only question is what steps the online poker sites will take to prevent them.

Perhaps the sites will force all players to type in a displayed word every x minutes in order to continue, to prove it is a human being playing. I'm sure there is a better solution than this, but at any rate it's gonna be up to the sites. Everyone saying "NL poker is too complicated for a bot to beat" is very naive IMO.
