Bots...??, Bentzen, 13. Aug 2003 08:22

Hello guys

Having played poker around a year, I have tried some of the different sites on the net, with surprisingly good results. Read a lot of books and improved my play, by the aid of this forum in particularly.

My main question is I have started playing at Tigergaming.com and it seems like they sometimes use bots to fill out the seats...They all play extremely passive and calls a lot, without ever betting or raising even though having the nuts.

Have anyone tried something similar or is it just me going paranoid??
Btw Tigergaming are mostly just 0,5-1

I think I could play profitably against a bunch of bots. It would probably be easier than playing humans. As long as the game was fair that is.

I'm guessing this is for play money? Bots playing for real money... That can't be legal can it?

I don't know, but why would you care? I'll play any bot out there for cash. A robot can learn the math of poker - the sheer unbridled avarice that goes with the game is natural to teach a machine, but a computer will never be able to understand emotion because it doesn't have eyebrows.

Well it's real money 0,5-1$ ...

But I just had a hunch about it they play so passive and even though they're holding two pairs at the flop they keep on checking as long no one is betting...

Very weird, but not obviously a bad thing, unless of course you suspect the games of being rigged...

I have made some easy money there, but it takes time with thoose stakes...

Best regards
Bentzen
