Don’t lose money to guileful poker bots
30 December 2004Poker bots have become a big trouble in online poker rooms after February 1, 2004 when Winholdem launched a commercial bot, even though online poker rooms have tried to stop its invasion. Poker bots are not detectable by using one computer to control another computer.
Since poker bots play mathematically ideally and don’t get tired, it is virtually impossible to beat them in large ring games, which reward tight and consistent play. Bots do not fair well in a short game, being too predictable, with their simplistic style of play.
Bots can be programmable; commercial bots like Winholdem use maths that can be adjusted by the bot user, to assume a unique style of play. There is no difference between a bot and a real player.
The most guileful moment with poker bots is that they may also card share, knowing other bots cards at the table will prevent bots from drawing dead (investing money on a hand, with no chance of winning).
In order not to be deceived by users of poker bots, you should:
– Play games that do not have structured betting. Pot-limit, no-limit and tournaments are all right games to play.
– Also play at a site that does not attract professional poker players and can offer you good bonuses.Please read remainder of article onsite.
Does anyone have a list of which sites use bots for playing?
so to make certain I understand this correctly, its not the poker rooms using the bots; but rather its the players.
hmmmmn…
what I find most interesting about this is the fact that the poker rooms won’t allow it.
What’s up with that? I mean, I can understand they would prefer that their customers don’t have to worry about playing bots; but on the other hand; it is cheating ONLY if the bots are conspiring.
Using a system or software to help ensure perfect play should not be a reason for locking someone out.
I mean be realistic; what would happen is what is happening. People are simply using 2 PCs instead of 1.
Wouldn’t it be smarter to allow the use of these things but by doing so; having it set up somehow (if this is possible; I don’t know) so that the poker room is able to monitor these bots to ensure they are not trading information.
and if that’s not possible; then who knows?
It is very plain to see that the current method of searching the players PC for use of bots etc; is not working.
No wonder I always did okay at PP when playing the sit and gos; but I had much less success playing the fixed limit ring games.
