Message: [QUOTE="spore, post: 420565, member: 10957"] I really don't like the idea of these "bots". Computer AI in its current state is not anywhere near the point where it can come close to being able to play poker exactly like you do. There's always those "gut instincts", getting a feel for how other players play, etc.. that human element that computers cannot replicate... and probably won't come close to for a LONG time. So yeah, you can tell it how to play vague scenarios, it can try and guess what players have by the way they've played previous hands. But in the end, it's just not a good idea. One of the biggest problems with these bots is that it has to log a lot of hands from a lot of players... yes, it gets smarter as it goes. But by that point, you have become a very predictible player to those that have played against "you" for a long enough period of time. They will be able to figure out your thresholds for bets to call. Yes you can just play random tables all the time, but then your bot doesn't have much info to go on. Apart from all the technical aspects, this method does absolutely NOTHING to improve your game, in fact it is very harmful to your play. OK, if it is working for you and you are making decent money using a bot.. it's hard to not do it. But realize this, you are perpetuating a problem which the poker sites ARE actively seeking to end. You are going to be caught up in the battle of: 1) Poker Site figures out how to detect your bot, ban you 2) You modify the bot to become undetected again and go to a new site 3) GOTO 1 After enough iterations of this loop, you will be banned from all poker sites. Not a game I wanna play with. So... bottom line? IF THE BOT IS GOING TO TRY AND PLAY LIKE YOU DO.... JUST SIT DOWN AND PLAY FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! Easy money never turns out to be quite that. [/QUOTE]
