They dont exist. 'Bots' are one of the excuses losing players have to try and justify the fact they dont win. They are the second most common excuse behind rigtard.

You can flag them up to the admin and they will investigate. i'm not sure they are too keen to boot these bots tho as they contribute massive rake for the Poker Room concerned.

The good and bad things about bots are that they are very mathematical and predictable and to my knowledge, terrible at bluffing !!

I'm not a fan of poker bots but you can easily exploit their weakness... They can't read bluffs very well :)

I have only ever found one who I flagged to admin... after a few weeks the player stopped all activity on the site then moved to another :)

That's a question that I don't know how to answer. Did they really exist?
Actually we can find corruption everywhere, even more where the money is present.

Yeah, I've heard of them, but don't worry about it. Get rich quick artists advertise these things and it's always a scam. These days, on-line poker sites are pretty good at spotting them. Still, they were never really any good in the first place. They're like prop players in a live poker room and play a very predictable, unimaginative game. (Prop players have to: they're always playing in the worst games otherwise their services wouldn't be needed.)

The soft of almost all these bots is really very basic. Maybe they can beat fish, but that's about it. They couldn't sell the soft that could really destroy the games for what they're asking.

The best thing about bots is they give fish an excuse to keep comin' back to lose more. I lost to a bot, I lost because the site's rigged and was pickin' on me -- anything bit admit that I suck at Poker. ;)

Playful says they are still bots around and they are still welcomed by sum sites like Full Tilt and BET on LINE just to name a few... Why is that?:eek:

Actually I heard about them and went looking and found some. Just out of curiosity I downloaded and played one. They do work however they play straight up poker unless you re configure them. All in all I would not worry about it because the human factor will always come out on top when your playing your best all the time.

My sentiments exactly...

In Chess... Computer programs crush the best human players now... Kasparov seen it coming when Deep Blue beat him and he knew computers would dominate and spoil the game so he retired...

In Poker... You just can't program them to play creatively and program in that 'human factor' Poker is not 100% Maths, and this is why the best Poker players are still Humans. They do play very precise, but also very predictable.

My Hand History against a suspected BOT showed I won far more chips off him than he did off me, Purely because he was so easy to read and bluff out of his blinds...

It's interesting to read some people doubt they exist at all... I am pretty sure they do... but I think they are not much better than break even players and If spotted by strong players can actually become a bit of a target themselves...

That myth has been around for years.....One player goes into a table and gets taken for lots of $$$ and creates a fantasy that the other five players were bots....

I dont know for sure but I have been beaten by some pretty shady hands. They had no business being in the pot with the bet put out preflop. They are a big question also to me.
