Default Re: Article Request: Analysis of Bots

[ QUOTE ]
Detection isn't really the issue, or at least not the interesting one. Bots will always exist and be undetectable. The question, for me, is whether their evolution will kill online poker or not. Put differently: as more bots appear, will their most profitable strategy converge to an Ankenman-ish unexploitable one, or will they be constantly cutting each other's throats (leaving their own throats exposed), or some function fluctuating between those?

Now that's interesting.

Yeah, you're right that there are probably more interesting articles to be written on the subject of bots than just detection. Anyways, I think that this subject would be of interest to readers of the magazine as evidenced by how many replies that thread on FT bots received.

I think that I will try to find some articles on bots on the internet either way. It would be nice to know what we're up against. I think this is the second biggest concern to the future of online gaming, with changing regulations being the first concern.
