Here is a little idea. Game simulation has reached
such a level that you could basically have people sit at their desk console at home, equipped with a pair of virtual cards that would display randomized hands.
Have the system capture their upper body movements at the table, create an avatar with human movement qualities that all the players at the table would see from their perspective, within a 3-D environment.
With this system in place, bots would be impossible and collusion as difficult as in the live arena. (i.e., not impossible, but more identifiable). There would be a much greater amount of information on which to make decisions, beyond algorithms and HUDS. Tells would be back.
Naturally, the cost of this system would be such that it would be for super high rollers only, until mass production came about in say 50 years. The bottom line is, Guy la Liberte and co. could get back to the lucrative business of playing at sick stakes online.
