Hi I just started playing online poker and have been confronted by many pokerbots. Can anyone suggest the poker site that effectively controls pokerbots? Or is that not possible? Thanks.
Most of the major, reputable sites & networks, and certainly pokerstars (unfortunately not available to US players), take a very active and aggressive approach to identifying and eliminating bots.Hi I just started playing online poker and have been confronted by many pokerbots.

Both of these bolded statements are incorrect. The first, because random numbers can certainly repeat themselves, and the second because live deals with physical cards will NEVER be as efficiently randomized as any modern RNG can do. Even an elementary one.i agree with dmorris 68. you will never know too much playing online who you are up against. you have to accept that going into it. howeever it is frustrating to see potential poker bots and or the rng repeating itself. ive seen it and many have. it is something that you just have to get used to or simply dont play online. i can tell you that many poker sites may deny that they exist but those same companies have told me that these issues do exists by other customer service reps. playing live is a guarantee of randomness and real play.
I've moved around in some dark corners of the internet, but that's an underground circle I don't move around in so I just know what has been written about them. While the software developer in me is intrigued by how they work, as someone who enjoys his online poker and has somewhat of a presence in this poker community and others, I don't dare risk putting myself in a situation where I might have to explain why I have one on my computer.so do bots actually win. I mean are they good enouph to pull a profit long term.
Obv a mod would know or be able to see if you are chat banned or not. I'll leave it at that rather than trudge into waters that could get murky LOL. Besides I don't imagine too many bots would get chat banned, and bring attention to themselves anyhow.challenge the player to answer some questions within a certain period of time or else be kicked
that wouldn't work for me on Full Tilt cause my chat is banned on there, so I guess they would say im a bot and ban me?

It probably wouldn't get my attention just with chat, as I tend to only keep an eye on chat in cc games, but if a table was paused I'm sure it would if given enough time. It certainly is intrigueing dmo regarding its workings but as you stated, not really something worth risking.
Maybe, betonline crashed on every one else to! Players that are sitting out, auto fold.Thank You All for your input.
dmorris68 you asked what made me think they're bots? Well as I said I just started playing online, at BetOnline actually, and my very first day the BetOnline software crashed so I restarted it. After logging in again I found myself at the table and only the blinds were putting in and the big blind took the pot every time because all others were folding. Including me.
This continued and when big blind came to me I won. Next hand I called the big blind from my small blind position and I won again because big blind folded. Next hand I called big blind and they both folded again. I wonder what is going on so I called BB every hand after that and they always folded big and small blind and no one else called. Wound up with thousands of chips grinding in the blinds with no challenge but took a really bad beat when I finally did get challenged by an all in after being moved to a different table. With over half my chips gone I get another all in challenge from the same player (everyone else folding as at the previous table) and take another really bad beat from his junk cards again. I was at risk and out of the freeroll tournement after really only playing two hands.
After reading these posts I guess at the first table I could have been playing fairly brain-dead bots or every one at the table was sitting out??? The player at the second table could have been just really lucky but it was sure weird only the two of us actually played.
Can you tell me what a TAGs/nits is?
Also, it really sounds like a good idea to challenge the suspected bot player to answer some questions within a certain period of time or else be kicked. Do you know of any poker sites available to US players doing that? PS/FTP I don't believe allow US players.
Thank again to all for your help.
