Re: War Against the Bots
[ QUOTE ]
I have a question about all of these people complaining about bots, what is really the difference between some guy programming a computer to raise or fold based on position and stats and someone 8 tabling using PAHUD and simply raising or folding depending on the stats of a player in the hand which was collected by a computer?
I mean, lets say someone writes a program thatevery time a guy w/ 30% vpip limps you raise w/ any top PP, t9s+, continuation bet every flop, then check or bet turn based on the guys stats. Is there really a difference between someone doing the same thing themselves by simply looking at another players stats which were collected by a computer program? player sees a 38/2/1 player limp utg, he has JTs and he raises automatically, everytime.
One person using a computer to store information and make decisions is very similar to another person using a different computer program to crunch numbers and then make a decision.

Computers get more powerful, software gets better, bots get better. Soon someone has rooms of computers playing hundreds of tables with bots that never tilt, never sleep, never eat. Never chat. Fish have no fun. Human online poker dies.
An extreme scenario, of course, but a possible end game if NOTHING was done.
