It wont develop reads. So no, it won't. Despite the fact that it won't tilt.

bots sometimes disguise themselves as food for this exact reason.

However, there are billions at stake for the poker sites and I have full confidence that they will do everything they can to protect their cash cows.

What evidence do you base your statements on?

I figure if it happens, it happens and I move on, there is nothing I can do to prevent this from happening if it is possible to build a good enough bot.

True. The sites should worry about this more than anything else.

I do CS and have done a lot of research into poker bots / research in the area and can safely say that within the next two years heads up limit will be practically solved by poker bots, shortly followed by limit ring. NL however is a different beast and I and many others can't see a world class bot being developed for at least 5-10 years.

this where you are wrong. it can track 100s of thousands of hands and deduce precise hand ranges for certain actions.

tilting has nothing to do with it.

neural networks, Bayesian belief networks, knowledge based systems, simulating parts of the game tree on both sides, ... these are just some of the ways bots can develop near perfect reads

this, will for a short time bring online poker to a stand still, they have factories in asia where they pay workers to play games like world of warcraft, it wouldn't be too hard to make a bot thatt could beat the low to mid stake games...these same companies will be running hundreds of bots at the same time, the upward funnel of poker money will be disrupted...the sites will come up with new safeguards that will protect the "honest" player for awhile....second verse, same as the first..it will repeat after these companies find a new way to beat the system...anyone who doesn't believe this is naive
