Re: NL Bots on Full Tilt
Alright check it, it doesnt have to be actual bots, it could be a poker sweatshop kind of thing where one decent player has several minions in a room with computers and IP addresses and such. He pays them to grind for him, and he teaches them an exact formula for preflop and postflop play so that they can make decisions automatically. He is also available to step in when things arent working out, say when somebody starts to play back too much. They wouldnt really chat much, by their nature, but they certainly could if prompted.
If I had a few minions and a proper setup, I could have the same kind of operation going within a week or so (and probably better than this low-winrate clown, heh). It doesnt seem that hard to me. Obviously if this is the case, it isnt really very ethical, but its not quite as bad as bots since they would technically be real players, just under the auspices of a 'mastermind'. |

Pay your employees enough to survive but not enough to build their own bankroll. It's very similar to the Gold Farmers in online RPGs. |

Re: NL Bots on Full Tilt
Guys, I made the post with the same explanations as are being developed on page 4.
This does not have to be a full blown bot, and most likely isn't. I really can't imagine how anyone could develop automatic turn and river play. This is most likely, as Noah said, one of those Rainkhan people. He's could be using a pre-flop/flop betting program that makes decisions in all the obvious situations (fold 37o, etc), possibly even c-betting on auto-pilot. The guy then takes over post-flop and in 3-bet situations. Also, as someone else has pointed out, it would help to have PAHUD stats have a couple of decimals. If one guy after 100k hands is 14.24 and the other is 13.67, I think that's a huge difference. Then I could see it being a few friends playing together (maybe like a frat) and having one guy teach them. This would explain the discrepancy in bb/100 of the two players on the right (the right-most player being a loser). This would also be consistent with them playing at the same time and not playing on the same tables. |
