And later that week i found that their where at least two botsĪt almost every table low to medium stakes, and they would play for a while. I figured out that i was sitting at their home table. And other bots would come in at my table.

And they would even move to different tables. I figured out that if i re-raise the bet high enough they would all fold. I watched them repeat this for around 30 hands without every seeing the flop.

the blinds where placed then the next player to bet would raise the bet, and all seven players would fold. And I set out to go to restroom, and when i came back I noticed that they where taking turns. I was playing at sportsbook a few years ago. Just double his raise, and if they continue to fold it's a bot. A simple test is to re-raise the player that might be a bot player. Agreed that the bot makers randomize decision times and take breaks to fool the bot detectors. I just don't believe that playing a bot could be as much fun as playing flesh and blood. Gambling is supposed to be fun and entertaining. Your main hope is to suffer no mistakes yourself and hope to play a stronger positional game, which is not very fun. The problem with chess computers is they don't play a soulful game and they don't make mistakes. I have never knowingly played a bot before, but I have played chess computers lots of times. If bots are taking low limit players to the cleaners, those players are not likely to return. A further improvement would be that the game itself is as unskillful as possible, which is why the casinos (and, most players) like hold'em. The ideal poker game, from the online casino's point of view, is where all the players are of equal skill-everybody will be playing that much longer. It could be that the bots (which the site itself can probably identify) are winning too much and too often. I'm sure it's trivially easy to program a bot to vary the times it takes to act, so you couldn't tell that way. It's not like anyone can tell whether they're playing against a bot, or just someone who doesn't feel like talking. I wonder why they would implement such a ban, because the presence of bots increases the rake, and thus generates more profit. He never chatted either, and never seemed to take breaks.

My last blog entry was about how I could killed by a player at Bodog who raised almost all the time. Heck, they could probably outplay me too, so maybe I'm just jealous. As you said, they would probably outplay the low limit players, which would be bad for poker. First, I can't confirm or deny the comment on Bodog's position on poker bots.
