When i began poker, we did it in the head. We read books, calculated chances, etc. When i began online poker, i had several tables around me, that made the same. Today we have software that calculates everything for us. As the result i will play only offline. Or we see several gamblers, playing how the bot says. There is no interest in such game.
To be honest, this is the first time I have read about poker assistant bots like this one. I knew there were some tools in the market for people to analize their plays, but it is dishearting to read this has become a widespread phenomenon in online poker tables like you mention.

I have only played poker offline and with a few acquaintances, so I was not aware of this. Perhaps, we could say it is the modern equivalent of counting cards (which is discouraged by brick and mortar casinos, as far as I know).
This only makes me believe the only way to enjoy a fair play of poker would be by buying a new package of cards and having a meeting with friends and family.
Do not casinos have some counter measure so people would not be able to use tools like this one? It would be similar to how anti-cheat software works for games like Counter Strike and Dota2. For example...
I don`t know about casinos anti-cheat system, but i remember how in Counter Strike draw aim on the monitor

I think that it is possible for bot to catch video and work with it.
I played online poker with tables more than 10 years ago, but, if i remember right, it was the common rules - what i must do with my hand and what i have to do when i see the table.
Only offline poker. At least you have to remember all these tables and use it fast. But when i play with friends, i try don`t think about it.
