I'm not sure if it's just me I have been grinding the low stake games for a while. I notice alot of play seems to be vs. Bots or colluding regs. I play on Americas card room and betonline mostly. What do you guys think? Anyone feel this way? I seem to do alot better playing live. Is online low stake games worth playing anymore?

There is a lot of confrontation about cheating. The random card generator is different than a live deck. Tho if u have patience and learn to play with the flow of the game you may find success

Are you playing cash games? It is easier for colluding in cash games and more practical for bots to play in cash games because of the volume they can do brings rake-back. Try playing tournaments where it is much harder for these types of cheaters to do well.

Botting in online poker has been around for many years now. Botting on its own just automates decisions and removes human elements such as fatigue, emotional play, etc. Cheating has also been around for a while. Some sites are actively looking for both of these.

Thanks for tip. I hope they figure out a way to stop bots and cheating altogether. I miss live poker atleast you know your playing against other humans.

The irony of these sites cheating, if they are that is deemed as theft spiritually, and thall shall not steal. So it would be sad for people to end up in hell because of using bots. If they are I hope they see this.

From time to time, there are characters who suspiciously play, at such moments I usually put a mark on them so that for the future it can be seen that I have already met with this account.It’s sad when they wash themselves with bots during the game

I think it's true, but most people want not to think about it.
We just can't change it(
So we need to play better)

What makes you think a player is a bot? I've not noticed this before, but I haven't really been looking either...

I've seen a few playing together and chip dumping. Your playing people who bet aq to 55k flop because one is the suite they have ..

Well botting is cheating. That's, why I can't, understand stars allowing certain programmable macro programs ..

I think there are a lot of bots on regular poker sites...but also i think they catch them fast. They fight for years with this aspect
