I couldn't beat the bots playing SnGs

Well, you are known as the Horse Whisperer, not the bot whisperer.

Hey Charlie haven't been around much these last few months or had a chance to set at a table with you. Hope all is going well with you & yours. Hope to catch up with you at a table afore to much longer.

Because it’s really difficult to make it without discipline which majority players lack!

Yea I don't think I would deposit my money to any platform honestly...I would only play with freerolls wins...

Poker is a game for money. It has always been that way. Freerolls are only a useful supplement to this game. If AI had any influence on the game in poker rooms, it would be the end of online poker.

I would still play even if they told me they were cheating tbh. Bots, super users, of course it happens but they always get caught in the end.

Every time I place a bet, play cards for money or enter into any financial endeavour I just assume somebody is trying to scam me anyway as that's just how the world is.

If I stopped because of scammers and cheats I'd never do anything I liked.
My biggest example is horse racing, I know in my heart the entire things is rigged but I still bet on it daily, go figure.

I played far too many smgs , at least far too many for my capabilities , skills , patience . I couldn't generate a good profit to motivate me to keep on playing . So I stopped playing these sngs . I was losing with crazy hands . It has nothing to do with skills , it's pure bad rng . Or collaborating enemy players or superuser accounts/house bots . In any case , you can't keep on playing with jokers .

The most important thing is not to make money the primary thing. In order, fun should come first. If you are too desperate to make money, it won't work anyway.

Sad, but true, bot and algorithm, online poker is doubtful.

Bots are really annoying for everyone. I think if site owners don't combat them effectively, the amateurs will leave first, followed by the regulars and site owners. I hope the bots are eradicated before the poker ecosystem is.

I know that the existence of bots can damage the image of this great game we know as poker and make us feel like we are always at a disadvantage, or constantly doubt whether a very strong player might actually be a bot. However, I believe we should focus more on what we can control: improving our game through study and experience, instead of focusing on the reasons we think we are losing. My advice is to play on well-known poker rooms with strong security, or at lower limits, and play more for the love of the game than just for chasing big money.

If nothing is done about bots, online poker will become an even worse experience until it disappears completely.Moreover, it's not fun. Games are much more interesting when you play against people, not against what is essentially a hacker.

Giving up gambling for money is the same as giving up poker. Poker isn't fun, so without money it's not worth it.

Mario7 · Feb 11, 2026

Well, it is not easy to beat other players + the rake (which is pretty high online).

Since most of players are loosing players they should have some reason to keep playing:
1. I am loosing and I accept it, I play for fun it is just the way to spend money for a hobby
2. I am loosing but working on my game, hoping to improve and be a winner in some time

If you do not fit in any of these 2 categories it is indeed better to stop playing for money.
Bots are just an excuse.
