Message: [QUOTE="dmorris68, post: 2303304, member: 40397"] I was trying to be nice. :) Also, one other point on the subject: I hope that people concerned about bots realize that bots don't have access to any more information about the hand being played than you do, i.e. they can't see your hole cards, predict the deal, or anything like that. They're just another player that plays the cards they're dealt. Their advantage over most of us would be due to the computational power behind them (which varies greatly -- as I said, the simplest bots suck) and the complete lack of emotion and tendency to tilt. But again that puts them on par with very good human players that you would normally avoid for the most part. And they can run bad and lose big pots, same as the best pros. [/QUOTE]
