Yes, this is entirely possible and is happening already.

I do not care that much if some sites have GTO bots blindly playing with programmable hand ranges and 3bet frequencies etc., though this does bother me to some extent, it is unavoidable.

My issue is that the information required for software like holdem manager and poker tracker to work provides the data needed to create bots that could become essentially unbeatable because their player adjustments could be fine tuned to such great precision that theoretically no human player would be able to compete.

If sites do not allow players to access this information then the issue is essentially solved in my view.

Ignition and global poker have both taken steps to combat this issue, ignition by anonymity and global by not allowing access to hand histories in an exploitable way. PokerStars has taken some steps to try to prevent access to external databases, though this has not really been effective.

The only real way to avoid this is to completely ban HUDs and end automatically generated hand histories.

I am sure the creators of Holdem Manager and Poker Tracker will lobby the sites to avoid this taking place, but it must be done.
