I understand your frustration in your post and likely there is a fair amount of CC members who may agree to some extent with your post.In unregulated markets, I believe 50% or more of the players are using bots.
I have no facts to present...
That is all....
I'm not convinced - if you make an extraordinary claim the burden of proof is on you.
Having been called a bot numerous times by salty opponents I trust these claims about as far as I can throw them.
And no, people making bad plays and getting lucky lends very little to the argument.
Good luck!
I don't care if you are convinced or not....
You must be very young to make a statement that no humans would ever make such crazy/stupid plays [ i am para-phrasing ].There HAS to be a fair number of bots because some of the plays I have seen (whether I'm in the hand or not) would NEVER be made by an actual human being.
The worst one I ever saw was at a final table of a big MTT (around 6000 players). I was still alive in the tournament but not involved in the hand at all.
At this point in the tourney, the pay jumps are huge (obviously) and so no one would be willing to risk their tournament life on a whim.
Two of the players at the table end up going all-in pre-flop. One player has AK suited, the other has 82o.
Wouldn't you know it, the flop comes 882. I mean, c'mon. No human being with a pulse would have made that play with that hand, yet there it was.
I'm not saying that the game is fixed, but there are way too many suspicious plays to chalk it up to player stupidity or "playing a hunch".

Amused by all the non-believers, oh well
You know the things are bad when one of the leaders in the market publish that kind of an article. The last part of it I find especially disturbing.
Perhaps the cardrooms should put a CHAT CAPTCHA feature in the next update?
