Not so sure that texas holdem will do as you state davez. There was an article in one of the newspapers recently & it stated that online poker is the most corrupt of all the online gambling available.
The fact is that those humans that particiapate could be playing against a table full of bot (robots) which have the capacity to work out millions of calcuations in a second or so giving the human little chance of winning.
There are programs such as WinHoldEm that are capable of playing at five tables at the one time making as much as $275 per hour for their operators. It's possible for instance for a human to be playing against five bots all operated by the one user.
If that's the case then many people would soon tire of getting ripped off by a computer & look elsewhere for their gambling experience.
