Polaris plays limit heads up Texas Hold em. When you play with more than one opponent, or you play no limit the game is drastically different. I'm not saying good bots for other game configurations don't exist, but bots for these other games (which are more common in online gambling) are further away from reaching the level of professional players.
When you add in the large variance of a game like poker, it is hard to imagine that it would be profitable to gamble using bots online.
