I can't believe you're sponsoring a group of cheating scum to improve their poker bots. These greedy bastards could ruin online poker for hundreds of thousands of poker enthusiasts like myself and also kill off poker rooms like yours. You should stick to buying cheese sandwiches for your cheap publicity. I and I'm sure many others will never play at your site unless you pull out of this stupid event.

I didn't read all post.

The online poker room could easily counter that : They just have to do like hotmail or yahoo to prevent bot from opening account :

At random occasion, you stop the table for 20 sec, an image of some digit appear( example : FW56h2). The player will need to enter the digit or else he will be kicked out of the game.

I know it would be frustrating but that one of the best way to counter bot IMHO.

Interesting bit of info: my roommate works at a large national mail order racing gear store, and the owner of GoldenPalace is their biggest customer. They always joke around in the store about it being GoldenShower...

The 30-year-old Newport Beach engineer started playing for money only a month ago. He lurks online at the tables for the chicken-hearted; even there, where the biggest ante is 4 cents, he can't win consistently.

But Gabriel has a potentially powerful alter ego. In his spare time, he's perfecting a computer program to go online and play the game for him.

[/ QUOTE ]

So, this guy that can't beat the $0.04 tables is going to write a program that wins, okay.

[ QUOTE ]
Other robot designers, such as Ken Mages of Evanston, Ill., are further along. But though their electronic progeny may win at small-stakes tables, they usually fall apart when the human competition is stiffer.

After two weeks of programming, Mages said, "I could sit down at a 50-cent table, put 50 bucks in the account, go to bed and wake up with at least $75." The most Mages said he won that way was $250; he never lost.

[/ QUOTE ]

IIRC, the $0.50 tables all have a $20 or $25 max buy-in. He has the buyin for 2 tables. Something just doesn't smell right.

Nevertheless, I will stop playing at your site, and I will recommend all my friends and future players to do the same. You are sponsoring an event where, according to the project manager (he said it at winholdem.net forums), all contestants have made money playing online with their bots. Quote from http://www.winholdem.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1307 :

Kenneth G Mages: "Our contestants have ALL made money online and we will use 'nom-de-plumes' and/or nicknames if a WH user wants to 'hide' their identity."

That is cheating, and you choose to associate with cheaters. Bad move, and it's not even close!
