Was researching new rooms to play and came across one thing: Practically all the rooms (except PS and 888poker) are infested with bots!This really is a big problem? Would not it be easier to play against a bot than against a human? What are the most infested rooms?😛uke:
this is news, for me, if this is true, it is a problem, because the bots, create patterns according to your opponent .. he is a machine developed and information feed constantly, the level is very high of his game .. this will end the poker room. I hope this is not true.
They are huge problem. Big poker sites need to deal with them as soon as possible. They are huge threat to us, regular players.
one can only hope that the pokerrooms remove bots as soon as they are discovered.
But when it comes to money, there will always be criminal energy and ways of people.
There is only one solution, you must play better then every poker-bot. 🙂

gloabal poker has a popup after you have been playing an hour saying how much you won/loss and if you want to continue playing, I'm not sure if that's to prevent bots, or if that even works,
but that's what I experienced when I was playing over the weekend

Plug-and-play bots run on unique programs called "profiles" which are script coded and set in stone. They do not learn from opponents or have artificial intelligence like Deep Stack or the "bots that beat the pros" do. What the current online poker bots do is determined by pot/card/position/stack sizes. Their advantage is never tiring, multitabling, and not going on tilt. Their job is to just break even vs players - their profit comes from rakeback (mostly) and clearing bonuses.
Some of the newer bot profiles can read opponents based on PT4 stats but that's only useful really in headsup and after some hands. Botters mostly use PT4 stats just to avoid setting their bot at tables with sharks. They use an automation tool called a hopper to do table selection for them.
A lot of bots sit at headsup tables. I would avoid playing these ones. A bot is much stronger in headsup (even the creators of Deep Stack said it would not do as well in 6-9). I lost $50 trying beat one at 25NL once. Sometimes the owner will take control of it when you shove thinking you will take advantage of the bot's script to force a fold to a bluff. Then you get a surprise. Many times they are letting their bot run on a side monitor on a virtual machine and they step in on big pots or when they get premium hands. Otherwise they just let it run auto-pilot, and half the time might just be AFK entirely.
(speaking for just Hold'em)
about 90% of bots play NL1-25
about 9% play NL 50
1-% at NL100+

I cant answer at your first question as i dont have big experience facing bots(i think i had face few at HU Sngs even not 100% sure) but i will answer you about programms like HM2 or PokerTracker4..So,No..they dont know all about your game of course..Just they can see some stats based on your game..For example,how often you get in a hand,open/raise by position,fold to 3bets and many other stats..Yes,a good player of poker and good user of that programm can have a relative advantage exploiting your leaks in game(For example if you fold too much from BB he can see it as stat and use a steal strategy) but this doesnt mean that whoever uses these trackers can crush their opponents..Its just a good helper for some decisions and mostly works for big sample of hands versus a villain..Sometimes having a tracker works vice versa..You can make a totally wrong decision just because you based on small sample of hands you have against a specific opponent..So dont panic if you dont have that programm 🙂..Of course its usefull to have a programm like that but most usefull by far is poker skill and working on your game 🙂
just buy a bot online and use on ACR, they encourage the use of them as they have their own running around anyways collecting money. Either that or stick to a fully regulated site like Pokerstars. They answer to authorities, ACR could close tomorrow and you lose the lot.
Situation on 888poker is the same as it was on WPN - after numerous emails with 888 customer service and security department, nothing has been done. The botring that most of the midstakes PLO regs know is still operating on the 888 tables.
