I raised pf and then went all-in on the flop with A9o.

The board was T77.

Scoby called my all-in, and showed K9o at showdown . . .

I think Scoby needs work.

I tried to go all in PF, but accidentally kept 5 chips. I bet the 5 on the flop (pot of 405), and scoby folded....

[Jeff W]

This bot is pretty terrible. It calls a pre flop all in w/ Q2s and also calls an all-in -5 chips and then folds to a 5 chip bet on the flop. The bot has numerous other highly exploitable flaws, especially the tendency to overbet the pot by 25x. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

This bot reminds me of the time I played Bicyclekick HU and owned him...

[kiddo]

Is there any other robots out there that u can play against? My HU really isnt what it should be. Or are they all bad?

[imitation]

Scoby kicked my ass, blah blah, i suck at poker, blah blah, whinge whinge 6 losing/break even weeks in a row, blah blah, i hate you all, sook sook.

Best bot ever. Seriously the name is perfect for the skill level of the bot. So so good.

This has to be some kind of joke...

Scoby calls a River all-in with the board:

3/images/graemlins/club.gif J/images/graemlins/club.gif 6/images/graemlins/club.gif K/images/graemlins/club.gif 6/images/graemlins/diamond.gif

holding 93o (no /images/graemlins/club.gif)
MHIG (Q/images/graemlins/club.gif 8 /images/graemlins/club.gif)

but even better Scoby calls my all-in with the board:

2 2 Q 4 2

holding 75o /images/graemlins/confused.gif
MHIG (32o) /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Scoby appears to be programmed to call any River all-in bets, with 7-high. I estimate it might take as long as 2 hours to relieve him of his $100,000.
