I guess we'll just have to see what the future holds, but I suspect a lot of it will maintain the same. Many players enjoy the "human element" of poker; social interactions, physical feel of the chips, the psychology of reading another and so on - for this reason I do not believe the game will change much and I really doubt live poker with people will go away.

Perhaps holograms or such like VR may get better for a "video-game-like-experience", but I don't think this will replace live poker as we know it.

By the way, as a chess player myself, the 1996 Deep Blue vs Kasparov matchup was historically significant because it is the first time a computer has beaten a chess world champion under OTB classical time control and tournament conditions; however, Kasparov still won the 1996 series (as mentioned). It was the one game that Kasparov lost the media took a hold of and ran with.

Similar to chess, I don't think poker bots will replace live poker in any way. It will be just like how computers have not replaced live chess events. Chess computers are seen more as learning tools than as opponents and I suspect the same will be for poker (as we have already begun to see with HUDs and programs like Equilab).
