Default Bots

What exactly are these?
I have heard people refer to bots before, and I was wondering if it was the poker company who uses these.

A bot is a non-human player at an internet cardroom. They are invariably banned from play.

Default Re: Bots

They're apocryphal programs someone might write to play poker automatically.

I've never heard of anyone getting caught doing this, but I have heard of accounts being suspended for bot-like play.

Needless to say, other site users would not like to play automated opponents, so the sites have a strong motive to root them out. They also have powerful tools to analyze playing patterns and potentially recognize automated play.

... and to the micro limit nits, a bot is somebody that just doesn't abuse the chatter box and concentrates on his play rather than looking for the all-in button every other hand. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

LOL!!! I got accused of this last week, so I decided to say "beep" if I won a hand.
