There is the very real possibility that the owner/operator of these bots might very well read 2+2 and this very thread, even if it isn't Brandon.

Books like "The Mathematics of Poker" (which I have) are like blueprints to building a good poker bot.

Poker, for all of the glamour and guts, is just a simple mathematical game. Bots who can play NL very well were/are inevitable. I think most people, including myself, just figured it would be many more years.

This will only get worse btw, AI and opponent modeling techniques will only get better, hand history databases will only grow larger, etc.

Sites will need to get proactive about stopping it, if they really want to.
