Re: Bot complaint
The chances of there currently being winning bots in play are probably 90%.
The chance that there is any bot at all that could master NL is 0%.
I've mastered NL, it's not that hard.
The AI required for a winning bot at limit is inevitable. There is currently a Heads-Up bot that is said to be nearly unbeatable.
Are you referring to the Paradise bots from four years ago?
Programming a bot for NL is exponetially more difficult. Those few individuals talented enough to write winning bots would first tackle limit. I doubt there has even been any serious work at all in programming a NL bot.
I missed a couple issues of the newsletter Better Bots, was this in there?
Finally, even Dumb-bot at Ultimate Bet has never missed a bet with the nuts on the end. This would be covered in the simplest of code.
One person using winholdem, or someone who had seen it in action, posted that a line of code that would fold AA preflop if the pot wasn't larger than a certain value. It's tough to rule out any bug in a program.
Your fears are not unfounded, but don't worry about NL games.
I realize that you're trying to be helpful, but when it comes to gambling and MY money I worry about alot of things other don't.
