Then shifting the hole cards, flop, turn and river by mere pixels would be enough to stop most bots since precise coordinates are no longer possible. Even a shift of 20 pixels would throw the software off enough, but be only discernable to humans who are paying super close attention. It could be a random amount of pixels to shift too. Plus you could make the space between the table cards random as well.

A high level bot is going to scan the entire application screen and know area zones to look at it, so outside of changing the graphics somehow, I'm not sure you could prevent it. You talk about pixel shaking - well all a bot has to do then is take a screen cap and analyze that - in fact they probably already do do that.


Online "bots" in any game, whether it is a first person shooter or what have you, have always been around. All of the preventative measures that end up getting released are gotten around in some way eventually. Online Poker is no different.
