play against a bot?

[Lucien Jacky]

I have never suspected that I was playing a bot until today. I was playing party 24 I had been playing with a player who was around 14/9 for 60 hands when the table broke and it was just us. I noticed that he was folding his blinds regularly and so I started raising every time and went 22/25 taking it down 20 of those times before the flop before other players sat down. At one point I won 16 hands in a row preflop with him taking a measured pause and fold that seemed identical. Called party they said it was impossible but would look into this player. 16 hands folded preflop in a row heads up seems to be to fishy even for the biggest rock. comments, flames am i too paranoid. I was pissed when other players came to sit down he still had about 120 left.

Cheers,
Luca

Yes, it sounds like a bot. There's some web site selling this crappy bot software which can't win at even the lowest microlimits, I forget the name of it though.

"Called party they said it was impossible...."

What else could they say? "Sure, we get 'em all the time"

Good work taking money of the bastard /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Sounds like a very well-programmed bot.

W-O-W -- 22 out of 25 on blind stealing HU?

You'd think a "live" player would adjust and/or just sit out if he isn't a very goods HU player.

Nice work exploiting the flaw in either the player or his little autoplay buddy.

Thats actually a good anti-bot strategy. You ever find a bot playing at a table, just try to fill all the other seats with friends, have them sit out, and then just steal all the bots blinds playing heads up. This is a pretty major programming flaw though, not having the bot sit out if the table breaks.
