"bots" may not be playing effectively for their owners *yet* but will only be matter of time before they do (once you understand nature of information technology progresses at exponential pace you'll see this will happen sooner than your natural linear intuition leads you to expect)
even before this happens, already humans are learning from computer similations, GTO calcs, decision tree software, etc
while all still imperfect for now, they also don't need to reach perfection to effectively end the game permanently as we have known it
Q: What is the difference between a human using the same logic to make the same decision a "bot" would make if the bot were itself playing?
A: not much, some tilt control and few other things that don't make nearly enough difference between bot play and computer aided human play
i agree im probably not 100% accurate, all imo.
firstly what i was trying to get at, is if there was some sort of bot that was for sale for the mass, it wouldnt be very good, hence easy money for regs.
secondly most bots that do very well are based on
exploiting specific player pool tendencies, usually created by poker players who have a good knowledge of poker and said player pool.
even if someone actually spent the time to create this super mega GTO "unexploitable" bot you speak of, it would need their opponents to be also playing gto, otherwise it would be leaking money, there is no point in reaching 1-a in every single spot if your opponent is a meganit. which takes me to my previous point of the bot needing to keep readjusting, which means theres no way in hell someone who cant beat midstakes already can just purchase a bot and print in said games.
if someone created a bot that could adjust ingame based on huds, then that would be a problem. by the time someone does create this though, online games will either be thriving thanks to global regulation or pretty much dead due to too many taxes/segregated player pools and not enough recs depositing and since the latter is a much likely scenario, whoever wasted their time would of been better off in a different market.
