Totally true that bots exist, there was already a question paired with today's technology that you are looking for a flower and every time you enter the system there are flowers everywhere that are in poker for sure too but I believe in high levels or in cash the nik of the players are so rare with numbers without a photo it is rare I know what you think at this time any opinion is valid
I know you won't agree, but bots exist and change the game
If "bots" are in the game, it's no longer poker. At best, it's some weird "video poker" blend, but at it's heart, poker is Man Vs. Man not man VS computer. Bots exist, yet hardly anyone wants to talk about them? WHY IS THIS?
And, respectfully, at this point I have to disagree. I was in massive denial for many years that there were bots or funky algorithms at play, but now I see this is the case. Yes, that means I think online poker is "rigged", but that doesn't mean it's unwinnable.
I was raising my BR at a nice and healthy pace until I won a small tournament and my BR went from 350 to 80 in a week or two. I was still playing the same poker, but now, every time someone chased a flush, it hit, every time they chased a straight, it hit, sets would get sucked out to turn river straights and flushes or bigger straights, top two would lose to bottom pair turning trips.... It was not until I FINALLY examined the "do bots play poker" question, and only since then have I started to win again.
There is Poker, then there is this online hybrid, bots/humans/funny algo's at play, and for that I personally believe that special BOT SPECIFIC adaptations must be created in your game. Since I have come to see the truth of bots and funny software, I have successfully folded many hands I WAS way ahead of, only to see time and again if I would have called I would have got turn rivered. (multi hand pots, of course). It's INSANITY to me that you can flop the NUT STRAIGHT and have to fold, only to watch the bottom pair jammer to turn river a straight, trips or flush. I believe there are many hands in the online world that are more or less scripted to be "set ups", and these hands the bots are almost always in. Track the players you think are bots, and fold accordingly.

Yes..i exists..hahaha. I wouldn't trust em because my judgement is better i think anyway..lol.. And I dont worry about em because security at the best sites are very very good. First 1 must understand what they are and how they work. There like the 21 blackjack dealer at the casino, hit at 16 stay at 17. Meaning they follow strict guidelines to make sure the house has better odds. poker odds calculators are the same thing to help give you better a better odds/understanding of how to play and percentages of hitting yr card you need or to win.Good luck and crush them tables. 😀
