    So, this came as a surprise to no one? I don't really think it is scandalous. I think most large sites are susceptible to bots. I thought the proof surrounding it and the intense research to determine the bots is what was interesting.

    I thought it was a good read....but bots have been around for years. My first mentor was bot happy. I never went for it. Im sure they are still out there. The only problem with them is...well...they play like a bot which can be manipulated.

    I am not at all surprised. I have suspected seats were occupied by bots on Stars and Full Tilt for a long time, years really. I have even visited the bot forums and learned about the theories behind the bot playing patterns to get an edge when playing against them in cash games. Once you got the general idea of what the bots were doing, and got them isolated, it used to be rather easy to push them off of many pots. The bots are getting better and better lately as the theories behind their play and programming are refined. It's probably best if sites try to get rid of them at this point. Some good research went into that article!

    Jen, thanks for posting the link to the article. It's good to see at least one organization interested in policing the industry.
