Two Running said, "Robert 201, Lady black, Dr. Crippen. They are all Amerster. bots and they can only make money if we raise each other . They are the same players"

What is this guy talking about?

Were these three players/bots/whatever all in the same game you were in?

No just one of the three was in the game. I do spend a fair bit of time playing with the one accused of being a bot and I recognize him as a reasonably solid player (at least he hasn't distinguished himself as clearly as others to be a bad player).

Perhaps you could try to talk to them via chat. You could come up with a Dutch 'Turing test' and spring it on them. [img]/forums/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

I've seen Lady Black steam when you slow played against. I don't think she/he is a bot. The other two I don't know.

Claiming other players are bots is like semi-bluffing. Easy to overdo, hard to defend against.

........she won't give you credit for a hand, since so many micro players at paradise slowplay.

i would guess that Two Running is a passive fish and was trying to get you or whoever he was talking to to stop raising

there a lot of players who will happily call one bet on every street but who hate being raised, because they are "forced" to call the raises owing to their style of play and it makes their social game that bit more expensive than the game they had selected because of the base limits

next time tell him to go play roulette

no

don't do that

raise him out of his seat
