Re: Fulltilt froze my account with 47 grand in it
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Is rakeback such a benefit that people would play on such a shady site over earning FPPs at Stars? [/ QUOTE ] Yes? I'm about to deposit at either Stars or Full Tilt and I really was leaning toward FT because of the rakeback. FPP?? I don't want anything out of some online store. I want cash. Anyway, now I don't know what to do... [/ QUOTE ] You can buy cash from the FPP store. [/ QUOTE ] You know offhand what percent rakeback the cash rewards would turn out to be? My guess is not very high but I'm not sure. |

Re: Fulltilt froze my account with 47 grand in it
Should this be taken to some Stars thread instead?
We're still talking about sillysal and bots and FT's professionalism and stuff like that. |

My guess is not very high but I'm not sure [/ QUOTE ] Depends on what games you play. there are many threads in this forum debating the % values. Generally between 20%-40% for a reasonably high volume player (after attaining SuperNova status). Potentially >100% if you believe OnlinePro and play 1/2 FR limit games. [ QUOTE ] You can? Link?

Re: Fulltilt froze my account with 47 grand in it
I just found the post explaining how this was accomplished (see here):
[ QUOTE ] Some questions about Sparbot were raised in another forum, regarding the aggressiveness settings, and about occasional bizarre plays by the bot. Here is the reply I posted. ...<mike@a...> wrote: > > Sparbot has an aggression bar you can set. > > Am I to assume that no matter how you set this aggression bar > (e.g. either most passive setting, or most aggressive setting), > it's "objective EV" will be the same (or very very close)? > > something tells me the answer is no, because: > > I ran a ~25,500 hand simulation of Sparbot (i.e. the bot at the most > passive setting) vs. Sparbot2 (its aggression bar is approximately > 66% of the most aggressive you can set it to).

When the linear programming (LP) solutions were computed, they had the same objective EV. However, the resulting strategy is only a crude approximation of an equilibrium strategy, and a good player can find serious flaws and exploit them. The aggressive solution takes more risks, and is thus more vulnerable to being soundly beaten. It turns out that when they play against each other, the more passive Sparbot (the original version) is well-suited to exploiting the errors of its cousin. However, the more aggressive version is much more appropriate against the vast majority of human opponents. The difference isn't as large as your results suggested, but yes, one bot does beat the other. One data point against one particular opponent is neither here nor there. There are also small residual probabilities of making some bizarre actions, due to numerical stability issues in the LP solution. The mixed strategies in certain situations might have a 0.001% chance of calling with an extremely weak hand, or of folding a very strong one. The more aggressive solution had more of these problems than the original, but we never took the time to clean up the solutions after the fact, since it has only a slight effect on the bottom line. [/ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Sparbot2 was solved to have the same objective EV as Sparbot1 in the abstract game that we use as a model for real poker (with the additional constraints that it is more aggressive). Since there is a mapping procedure from the abstract game to the real game of Hold'em it is hard to know which one is closer to optimal in terms of the real game (the game that they actually play and that you play against them).

I haven't read it all but I went from: Wow this poor poster, FT's taking all her money, maybe I shouldn't sign up with them. to Hey maybe she's a cheater. Good job FT. Now I'm back to Poor poster. This really really looks like a witch hunt. |

Re: Fulltilt froze my account with 47 grand in it
I'm glad the bot statistic trolls have shown up to analyze some of this stuff, cause it appears neither party has given us enough evidence so far.

I feel a strange compulsion to inform those that think there is "no rakeback" on Stars [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Where is Sillysal ????? Where is FTP ????? Do we have anything other than similar stats? is the use of advisory application OK unless you actually win? |
