yes that's right. this is not a joke.

we need site shills for xisk.net Home.

xisk is a risk clone that ray has been working on in his spare time since 2004. it is arguably the best risk clone in the history of risk clones, bar none. period. case closed.

if you are interested in being a xisk house shill, we will pay you nicely in winholdem subscription time. basically all you need to do is login to xisk, stay logged in and be willing to play games with any visitors and answer any questions they have via the ingame chat. there is no limit to the amount of wh subscription time you can earn. it's based entirely on your active shill time.

if you don't know what a shill is then look here:

if you would like to apply then send a PM and/or email to support.

thank you.

Well ive used a couple of odds calculators in the past such as poker wingman, and something like "hold em inspector". They help you to learn the math of how strong your hole cards are etc, i will say be careful because all these sites have pretty strict rules about automated bots and it would be a pain in the ass to get banned from some of the larger sites...that and losing all your $. Pokers fun anyway.

I haven't been on forums long & I'm really not verse on phrases, but I guess a Bot is an automated computer software that will play poker hands/games/tourneys for you automatically? I don't mean to sound naive, I have been at tables that players would refer to another as being a bot. How do you really know if it's just a computer generated player? And couldn't you be able to read a computer better than a human? I would think they would be more predictable...(?)

You cant ever tell if the person you are playing is a bot. The pokersites typically can though with their software.

The bots are designed to be erratic so you cant tell.

For now, humans are defeating the bots, but who knows in the future.

Most computers dont fail so this seems a profitable proposition me thinks

[ericthegreat]

I keep hearing the word bot thrown around. How many people you think are actually using bot software and is it reasonable . or does it take away from the game?

[HotARMomma]

Thank you Zab / Ron. In playing the last few days, I have been trying to watch each player & who talks & who doesn't (which may not be relevant, as some just don't chat). But I'm glad you said "irratic", because I think there might have been one on a 1 point game - 20 step 1 tickets. It was either a bot, or a seriously crazy player. Played crazy for about 1/2 the tourney (would go all in almost every hand, but kind of had a rythm), built up big stack then sat out. And never showed or talked - but everyone else was talking, lol. 2 players were saying it was a bot. Guess I'll never know...lol

[HotARMomma]

oops! I spelled "irratic" wrong - it should be "erratic" Hope to see all in the tourney today - good luck everyone!

[rrickir]

that funny momma. lol, i,m not really sure there are as many bots playin as some people think there are tho. some of them are just crazy players, playin weird!!! hahahah

It true the sites can tell, but only if they are looking for it. If you ever think one is at your table pm security so they can check for it.
There are patterns such a when and how they bet and the cards they hold or show up on the board. You watch and note you might pick up on which ones they are but it takes time.
Most bolts don't do tourneys for the simple fact of downsize, the program is a set one so most are not able to reprogram them that fast to be able to handle tourney play.
