When poker moved largely online, the human element was stripped out of it. No longer were players able to read their opponent, analyzing their body language and tone of voice for cues to the strength of their hands. Suddenly poker, as much a game of psychology as it is of chance, had been reduced to a math problem. Any player armed with a calculator knew their odds of winning any given hand, and the only information they had to base their analysis of the opposition on was the length of time it took them to commit to a move.
