Pokerbots

[smackdown42]

I play on a site called pokerroom.com. On their site they use robot players. Typically games will have six or seven real players and two or three robots. I notice that the bots play tight and usually have a big hand when u play agians them. (They typically raise with big hands) I have noticed on occasion that they bluff though. Originally I thought it would be good to have them in the gamebecause I could raise with more hands and take control of the pot or reraise them and bluff them out. My question is does anyone else think like me that it is possible that the bots cannot be beat. Maybe they are programmed in line with proper game theory bluffing technique. In my opinion this is unfair because no one could beat them long run. Also they take away the potential for more customers. Anyones thoughts would be appreciated.

I don't like the idea of 'bots playing as on-line shills. Computerly speaking, it would be too easy for them to 'cheat' by knowing the cards. A company who makes their money from the rake shouldn't need 'bots to shill their games.

Just an opinion [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

They don't use bots. The players just play basic winning holdem and the idiot dullards don't catch on to it and tap anybody that sticks around can see to avoid their raises and if you call crack them out on brick boards if they fire back fold because they have a monster........

I don't think a bot can beat an expert. However, a bot can beat a novice.

I agree with Spyder: your biggest concern should be the site's integrity.

How do you know they use bots!

[mbraudel]

Does the site admit they're bots?

I don't find the word "bot" anywhere on their site.

Ive played at pokerroom.com

What makes you think/know they use bots?

Ive been trying to chip away at the massive amount of points needed to claim my bonus.(1400 points for 200 bonus) This makes me weary.. I am up over a hundered playing 1-2 holdem.. perhaps I will just stop there.

Their software sucks imo, it crashes on me often if I have more then one table going. If I dont have a hand in play when it happens I lose my seat automatically as well.

bots are an Urban legend!

bots run by Poker Rooms are an Urban legend - HOWEVER - I will go aganst the grain and say that bots run by people have the ability to be awesome once TRUE Artifical Intellegence becomes more commom.
