I have been reading some other players around the net, and many experienced ones believe bots are not the majority around the net. First because they are possible to be readed (once an oponent understands with what type of hands the bot goes, its possible to make him loose) . Second because using a bot will take out the pleasure of the game. Playing against a bot is the same as to play against a very tight player who only goes to game with a certain, very defined and restricted, type of hands. The bot will always make the same movement with the same cards, it cant read other players movements. So, if it is programmed to bet and raise with AJ, but to fold if there is a re-raise at turn, he will always do it. Dont worry that much about bots, this is what i think...

how do you spot a pokerbot? i think thats as good as impossible. it can also be someone superior tight and has chat off. i only once was thinking "this gotta be a bot" because a player was kicked out of the tourny after his 3rd rebuy, and all of a sudden i see him on final table again. i also find such bots should not be allowed on a client - i think they are very very rare tho. it should be easy to beat a bot anyways?! becaues it always does the same movements as Fakiry says.

Bots exist. That is a fact. Nothing you can do about it. However, most poker sites will have detection software against bots. Plus, remember that there are always multiple players on a table that scrutinize every move every player makes. If there is something strange going on, the community will find out. Just like they did with that super account on Absolut Poker and Ultimate Bet for instance...

Yeah, poker is not a game made for bots -_- a bot is easy to read... play 30 hands vs the bot, and then you win 90% of the time vs the bot... Bot is idiot : its not fair play and its not winning money
