Actually take this anyway you want.

I had a friend that worked for a pretty big site. According to him sites use bots regularly to boost the number of tables being played leading to more rake. Some will even fill guranteed tournaments with them when there is a large discreprency between players needed to make the guranteed payout.  I initially blew it off as bs but the more he said the more I believe I could see how it would be to a sites advantage.

He said you can tell if your playing against a bot pretty easily. They will raise very odd numbers but they will be the same portions to their program(certain percentage of the pot) every time they raise. They are not programmed to play a large variety of hands(just 8 or so hands). But this was the interesting part. They can be easily beat if you know your up against one according to him because on any of their programmed hands they mostly are programmed to overplay when hitting anything they play. The examples he gave were:

Bot has AJ and flop comes K J 2 the bot will still bet out and keep betting or call a bet even if it is an overbet against it.

Also bot will overplay AK.

Bascially his point was they are there to fill tables not mix it up against players every other hand so they are tight as a rock.

There were about four other things he mentioned that have slipped my mind at the moment.

Like I said take it anyway you want to I just figured I would throw it out there since someone asked.

As for playing against them. It would not really bother me. I note often so they would just get noted as anyone else would.
