NFuego20, I think you're right that the games would become less profitable for the human player who doesn't want to use bots, but to me that's not necessarily a deal-breaker. Those who adapt well and build good bots will thrive. Yes they will have to make a substantial time investment to learn the necessary programming/math skills, but once they've built their bot they won't have to spend hours grinding at a computer every day and will instead be free to do something more fun/productive with their time. Their new programming skills will probably be more directly transferable than an old-school player's skills. And in the process of building the bot, they will have to figure out how to play pretty well, so they can go crush live while their bots win online.
I fully expect bots to become better than the very best human players at all forms of poker within the next ten years, but I don't think this will kill online poker. The competition will just move to a different plane. If someone "solves" poker and forces everyone to use the same exact bot, well then, yeah, online poker will die. But that's different and probably won't happen as quickly, if ever.
Those who simply enjoy playing poker but don't have lots of online friends or a casino nearby would still be able to get their kicks in play-money games.
