Re: Pokerbots, the truth from the source
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] It even seems almost reasonable... [/ QUOTE ] I wouldn't say reasonable. Poker is a game with simple rules. Games are fun because they're pure competition within a well-defined framework (rules). Being punished for playing the game too well (arbitrary meta-rule) is unfair and unreasonable. [/ QUOTE ] I agree -- I do think however that an enormous amount of data is available to a large online casino on which to do statistical analysis. I beleive that just as an insurance agency can calculate what to charge you based on when the actuaries assume you'll die -- casinos can be relative certain that someone is TOO good compared to others. It is at least a red flag to them and I'll guarantee they are looking for these...

If you're saying sites can find out who is too good because they are cheating then that's a good thing. OP is saying sites want to and do get rid of good players who are playing by the rules, which is unfair and unreasonable.

Re: Pokerbots, the truth from the source
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] The thing is that I am a former employee at one of the top 3 biggest poker site. [/ QUOTE ] Can you give some evidence that you are not inventing all this? [/ QUOTE ] Well the third biggest site is FTP and they usually don't do anything about bots. Plus FTP has gotten a lot of grief on this forum about their permissive approach to bots. What better way to calm the uproar then to have someone tell us that bots are not really a problem and sites know about them and choose to do nothing about the harmless ones?

Re: Pokerbots, the truth from the source
[ QUOTE ]
No one care about poker robots as such. [/ QUOTE ] Based on this alone, he cannot be talking about Stars. The head of the bot detection team is one of the smartest and most driven men I have ever met at catching bots on Stars, to the point of being a zealot.
