Guys-

There are bots at FT. Go read the zoo.

jeez I just read this whole thread. So if we believe nation there are actually no bots??

[los_toros]

All,

I have a great idea regarding poker. Let us all create bots to play against each other. That way we can rake it in!

I'm doubting they are BOTs.
I know Nation. I don't think he'd lie about this.

oh man did I just tilt

I was playing 2donkeys HU, just sat at an empty table, regulars NEVER sit HU vs me, so the player always sucks

both guys started meh deep, 45 and 75 workable, I double up the 45 guy to ~75(chipped him down some) when he limpcalled 94s otb and I had TT on a 942board, the other table I lost ~25 when a reraise got shoved over, and I lost a couple small pots

no big deal I still cover both, and they aren't good .. but of course shortstacks start sitting in, I ask for HU the other guy asks for HU, shorties ignore

I'm [censored] pissed, topped off with QQ<KK on another table, I know I'm tilting, know I should quit, take a break and then get back at it but keep playing

then this hand happens

but I quit anyway

Couple of Qs for the floor

1) How do people table select at Stars? Any software? I use SpadeEye elsewhere, which works nicely? Otherwise I seem to sit with a load of regs, and clearly from the number of people queued at certain tables people have more sophisticated ways of doing it. PM me, if you don't want to tell everyone.

2) On PartyPoker has anyone else noticed the influx of Russian half stackers, all with 11/9 type stats? LesleyF was one - there were two others too, but I can't remember names at the moment. I don't think they are all that hot at 200NL, but certainly not bad - FWIW I've never seen them play together.

[Jurrr]

Lesly_F has been playing for a long while. He's a losing player in my DB though, what about yours? I dunno about the others. There is korrrrrral but he is 9/4. There is raohh who may or may not be Russian, I dunno, has similar stats and does not rebuy until busto.

Oh and if your question, RiverMustelid was regarding the botting discussion then I can assure you Lesly_F is not likely a bot. Unless he is programmed to tilt-call 4bets with 22 preflop.
