Yes.
Except the Top 5% human players... are significantly stronger players than the Top 5% botters... and that will NOT change without huge capital investment by large corporations (which is not happening). A bunch of teens running micro-stakes Bots should not be scary.
What's limiting poker growth is the 2-3 Poker Pros at every table. Average, recreational players pay the rake... PLUS they pay the profit/rake for the 2-3 Poker Pros at each table.
Let's use a $11 SNG with 2 Pros making 15% ROI and 8 recreational players. The 2 Pros put up $22 and win $25.30. The 8 rec players put up $88... and lose $11.30. So the EFFECTIVE rake for recreational players is not 10%... it is actually 12.8%. In reality, it's probably more.
The Sharks are the "problem"... not Bots.
