This Rebel must be modified to catch the real bots, that do not let real gamblers for have better winnings in front with many fish players. This technology amazes us a lot and still progressing. We will see what results it will have with poker professionals.

This AI programm , they say it is not designed to challenge online poker , like one more bot , becaus of its characteristics and the fact it plays only HU and in no rake games . But on the other hand , couldn't they modify it very easily , so as to play with more players or with rake , is it so hard ?? I don't think so .

This program has a very high level of intelligence and i don't know what it is useful... for as long it doesn't help to successfully contribute and arranging certain things, that are not right in online poker. It is something artificial but at the same time original and with a huge IQ.

All these bots , imo are a threat to online poker , they show that many , scientists or expert programm developers , can crete such AI programms , which have very good results against some of the best pros . So against regs or middle stakes poker players , against the not so good or perfect players , they can easily beat them and take their money . These news for excellent bots ready to win amy pro in a game , scary the casual players in these games , either it's poker or not , for sure ......

That is right and online poker game industry needs to do something about boots who are blame for decrease number of players in this field. I am very disappointed because had some very good games in past and every time lost in a ugly way.

I am sure that poker sites will do everything to not let this kind of program to be part of poker and that any players cant use it!we all know what is fair and how poker should be played!play on your laptop,smartphone or any other device,but not with programs and something that will give advantage to you,but other player wouldnt know that he use something!

Bots are a threat to online poker , i don't like these news nowadays , although in the past i was fascinated watching on TV bots competing with the greatest chess players and win tηem on their games , showing how far has technogy gone all these last years and decades . This progress sometimes can be harmfull for our activities , businesses or lives .

The bots are very guilty, because that made me to lose money many times in advanced positions for the final table of some interesting tournaments, where i could win over 1000 dollars per game. The ways where i was eliminated they were weird...

It can not only evaluate the current poker hand , the odds , the range of the opponents , and other poker terms and values , but also evaluates how the opponent sees this hand or the potential decisions made by the bot , so I guess this can be very effective on its decisions , the times to bluff or avoid some bluffs by opponents

It's quite complicated with these bots because they make mistakes and sometimes other players at tables notice that. An English citizen told me a few months ago that he can see poker cards in package before the software puts flop, turn and river. Very ugly.

This is where you can realize the deception of those who use bots. You can't risk your entire stack in advanced positions. For example: I played many tournaments with 4, 5 or 6 thousand players. When there were 100 or less left, I would catch set on flop and they would have no pair. Rival call all chips, turn, river and they catch straight, He was a real bot but i lost in same way many times...

These AI programms are so intelligent and improved these days . they can win pros , so we don't stand a chance against them . There were some other AI programms like this in the past , every new edition is being proven to be better and better than theo old versions . They solve the game GTO , they take the game to a whole new level , competition is so hard against them

We have reached in century of speed, where many good things are invented, but also other interesting ones that harm the human body. Artificial intelligence can kill us in the future and whoever said that is right. Bots need to be removed and here you need a good program.

Google , Facebook , other well known worldwide companies want to create such bots or AI programms , to fascinate tha masses with their achievements . There are so many games out there , leave poker alone lol . Choose chess , choose whatever else you like , we have enough problems with bots online , don't need to advertise the bots' skills and capabilities , as if it's sth cool , many have lost their bankrolls and properties by playing against bots , I would say especially against russian bots , lol

I don't like these things with boots. No one should use such a thing, to fool people. It doesn't matter if it is a company, social network, state institution or people. This must be prohibited by law and the penalties must be severe.

It's kind of a paradox , tragic irony maybe , on the one hand they adore these bots , with the high intelligence , being able to play against the human mind , and win the gratest players and their strategies , destroy these pros , these masterminds and their gameplay , but on the other hand I believe the same people do not like the use of them in real moey games on real poker rooms , against normal people who play with some money from their monthly salary , or with their savings . That's makes no sense .

I don't know what to say about this, because a commission must be introduced, that can analyze through a newly invented program. In this way all bots would be caught and the players would be much calmer. I hope it happens in near future.

I think that in the end, the bot will always beat the pros, which is a machine programmed to win, so we should be aware if there is any bot in the poker room and report it.
