This is definitely an image problem for online poker. I had a conversation today with someone connected to one of the online poker sites that told me bots are now for sale on the net for $100. Many of the professional players realize these bots don’t play well, but for the avg Joe this is quite a turnoff. The poker sites are using software to dedect bot play, but I think collusion is a bigger problem. Now when you get bots that collude you are really in trouble.
