They are predictable since they are running a program not actually thinking. They're usually very aggresive which is profitable at most limits online, but if you figure them out and use that against them they become easy prey. At least that's my theory, I don't think bots are a big threat or as widespread, not yet anyway...

Nie post -- actually the fishes, thinking that they lose because of bots, is not that bad. That's not something that will drive them out.
When I was a fish, I played for 5 months without knowing what a rake and a rakeback is. I knew the house is taking some money, but didn't bothered to care how much.
Nowadays, 90+% of the bots are losing money (in general), not to talk about a pro playing against a bot.
It's interesting to see the dramatic posts in the beginining, and how 1.5 years later nothing actually changed toward the predictions.
