I think I've already done the parts that could be hard (mostly, coming up with a winning play style that is sufficiently algorithmic).

Have you checked with other people about what they think is hard?
Why don't you think it's hard to evade detection, by the opponents, the resident software, and the server? (ETA: and were you looking into collusion? do you worry about the signature there?)

I have talked with people who are currently running bots. Most pokersites btw don't actually really even bother much to detect bots, since driving them out isn't in their interest unless human players start complaining.

I'm probably not going to publicly comment more than this on this topic.
