I have found a summary of Leo LaSotas lecture about playing against bots.
Is there any other material available about this subject on the web or maybe a book?

Josh Donn gives lectures and Q&A about playing against the bots before the NABC Robot Individuals, and we've saved some of the transcripts:

I would like to retain Josh at some hourly rate to work with me to improve my play with/against the BOTs. How can we connect to discuss?

As Barmar says, on BBO, Josh Donn gives lots of good advice on playing with Bots.

BridgeWinners discussions, based on expert experience, are hilarious and instructive, so also worth perusal. For example ...

Note bene: Most experts seem to recommend systemic psychs and deviations, when playing with bots. A regular human partner would soon become aware of your propensities. Ipso facto, you would then have an illegal undeclared implicit understanding. Prima facie, this would be cheating. Per contra, no such ethical problems arise when playing with bot partners, because they neither notice your habits nor adjust to your idiosyncrasies.
