Message: [QUOTE="slycbnew, post: 1253044, member: 43467"] I don't believe there have been any credible allegations made by anyone reputable/knowledgable that sites have been or are running bots. There are allegations that some "players" are bots, but it's not the sites that are alleged to be running them, it's users. Google poker bots if you're interested, there was also a thread somewhere here about bots a couple of months ago. Cliff notes on the recent thread and publicly available information (my interpretation) - bots appear to be real, appear to be able to win at low stakes limit holdem, are not particularly hard to beat if you're a reasonably good player, and there isn't a bot that can beat no limit holdem beyond low level microstakes (programming bluffing and other "leap of faith" moves in no limit holdem is difficult). Not endorsing the cliff notes version, just stating what I've absorbed. [/QUOTE]
