PokerBots

personaly i wouldnt use a bot cos what happens lets say you made one and it wasnt 100% and t hits a bug. ... . you lose!!!

Use it at low limits. Test the CRAP out of it. Then have it play on 16 tables

I thought the online websites made playmoney sections so we could test our bots???

I chatted with a guy over aim that I met in wow that claimed he was botting poker. He tried to get me to buy http://www.bonusbots.com/ <==== using that link at your own risk!!!!!!

site looks cheap and shitty to me. If you honestly had a great poker bot you have money and could afford a book to learn a lil graphics design along with that programming brain of yours.

I have used winholdem before but is VERY VERY VERY hard to get ahold of current table maps, and without them its impossible to even calculate odds

Is there anything else out there that you know of? I swear sometimes I should hire a programmer to make one from the ground up

Where do I sign up? I'd be interested in getting this project off the ground

poker bots are a waste of money and time but if you ever need one let me know i tried them and did not do anything with them lost a bit but was not enough to do damage i can prolly get you anyone of them you want good luck

Did you use winholdem?

You would need a bot where you could program yourself. I.E. put in what behavior to follow when XYZ happens.

Anyone have any experience? Sort of a passion of mine, had used winholdem in the past but haven't touched them since.

Thinking about getting back into them but haven't researched what the latest is.

i don't agree with ppl using bots. it's jsut not right. yes, ppl say it's for low stake games. but isn't low stake good for skill building and experience gathering? i mean bots ain't human/ it can't bluff as well as human being. it can't distingush the other players' playing style. and most of it is that it cannot find your oppoents' leaks. finding leaks is how u make ur big load of cash. so.. i say toss the bots and celebrate human intelligence. )

anyhow, those r just my own opinion. dont' get offended. enjoy and cheers!!

I think using bots is unfair and shouldn't be allowed.

If your going to set up a poker account, then YOU should play the poker, NOT the bot.

I never did it for a living, it was just fun playing at low stakes. (Especially when the bot actually did something and WON)

Not sure of the date on this the post was 10/19/2010 but it give you food for thought.
I just happen to see it while surfing the forums.I know a lot of you play ring games so here's a HU.

An anonymous American gambler has admitted to have won $220,000 using specialized bots on Full Tilt Poker. According to the gambler, the scheme had the nature of a "partnership".

The gambler, known only as "zeko1985", revealed his scam on Twoplustwo.com, declaring that he had won more than $220,000 over the past 30 months using bots to play on Full Tilt Poker.

"zeko1985" showed no sign of repent as he confessed to the extensive use of bots, but claimed that despite being illegal, he did not see using bots as downright cheating.

"I believe botting is a legit form of poker. Although I am not in control at the tables all the time, I have programmed the bot and am therefore responsible for its play" the player stated.

"It's my mind dictating my bots' actions, it's my in-depth poker knowledge, it takes a lot of skill to make winning bots. I should not be banned as it's a form of poker." he added.

According to the declarations, "zeko1985" has had bots running on both Full Tilt Poker and iPoker for more than two and half years. Only recently was he banned from Full Tilt, while he still runs the scheme on the iPoker network.

He was, however, certain that Full Tilt Poker was aware of the bots for a longer while.

"I created a lot of rake for Full Tilt, and I am sure they knew about me long before they bothered banning me, in fact this was why I became slack with the hours I was putting in, I looked at it almost as a partnership" "zeko1985" wrote.

"I am a high volume partner, and botting should be allowed, it's a form of poker at its purest." he concluded.

It is not the first time Full Tilt Poker is the epicenter of a case like "zeko1985"'s.

In 2007, a player named "SukitTrebek" gathered evidence and reported an allegedly extensive use of bots on the site, providing Full Tilt Poker with detailed information about both the bots and the supposed accounts behind them.

After investigating the case, Full Tilt Poker however chose not to take any action, arguing that "the evidence did not warrant the seizure of funds and permanent account closure."

While the use of poker bots is still considered to be strictly illegal by literally all major poker sites, the use of all sorts of advanced poker software is steadily on the rise. This includes poker bot software, which today can be purchased by anyone via a simple Google search.
