Bots...

I dont know much about this subject, but let me put this out there...

I have been playing at Ultimatebet mostly of late and I have come across somethig very troubling. In an effort to collect my bonus, have been playing alot at the .02/.04 limit tables. It seemed like this one ( or two, maybe three) players were 'regulars', and quiet ones at that. Then, because of the unusual hours I have been up and playing I have noticed that one player in particular is ALWAYS at the table. Then, after taking notice that this player was always there, never replies to any chats, and that one other player seems to always be two or three seat to one side or the other, I decided to go to another table of same limits.

Over the past few days, I realized the following:
1) The one player is ALWAYS at ALL 5 of the .02/.04 tables...no matter time of day... ALWAY ay ALL of them, wether there is another player or a full table...
2) this other player is also always there, or waiting on the side if there is no one else at the table
3) when this 'other player' leaves, another specific player 'shows up' almost immediatly.

These 'players' are ALWAYS there, any time of day, every day at all the .02/.04 limit tables. Furthermore, there is never any delay in their play as one might expect from someone thatis playing multiple tables.

Thoughts anyone

Well since my account got closed at Ultimatebet cuz their bonus structure favoured the low stakes where I played multi-tables, YOU KNOW IT WASNT MEEEEE.

It's no secret that Ultimatebet has bots, I just wondered if all sites do and if the site owns their own bots? And if you could bluff em with a big bet? The fact that you saw the same names at tables might not be an indicator because I recall many of the same names at all the tables I played, some chatted, some didnt.

Thank you for posting this though.

Hi Elle;

I never got the chance to welcome you, so welcome.

Out of curiosity, what else do you do??? Approaching 100 posts in less than a month, and obviously ALOT of poker playing... WOW, and I thought I had too much time on my hands

Well I am between semesters at the moment and I broke my ankle snowboarding not too long ago, so haven't really felt like limping anywhere except at poker tables. Because I had so much time on my hands and little money I played a lot at the micro tables at Ultimatebet. This qualified me for too many bonuses and UB called me a bonus abuser and closed my account and kept all my winnings, deposit money and all. (if you want to hear the whole whine - you can go to my thread entitled "Challenging Pokersite decisions."

So I haven't felt much like playing poker, lately, which has made me hang out here, more than I normally would.

I agree that something is very fishy at Ultimatebet. I also noticed the same things as you did. I also noticed that the winning percentage for the suspected "player" was abnormally high. 34% in two cases.

Check out my post in introductions.

How they stay in business I will never know.
