crosspost: heads up limit bots on full tilt

cliff notes:

- a handful of the most active 30/60 and 50/100 heads up players look like bots
- they have identical stats
- they have 0 hands played against each other. they have plenty of hands played against the biggest winners in those games, so it's likely not an issue of being picky with game selection
- they play with a bizarre and completely consistent tempo. if they 3bet preflop and are faced with a cap, they take 4 seconds every time to call the cap. calling a cap after 3betting preflop is the most automatic decision in poker. all their other decisions have a consistent but more natural tempo.
- the bots are good and are all winners

mr gatorade is the person who first uncovered this

just eyeballing my datamined database, about a third of the heads up hands played on full tilt between 30/60 and 100/200 over the last 6 months look to have a bot in them

I agree with Gehrig and Mr. Gatorade. The FTP bots I'm not THAT familiar with, but the UB bots I certainly am. Isaac168, Maomao88, Juicy Apple, Bmw750i, Banana234, and certainly a bunch more. They all take the same amount of time thinking in between each decision, all play game theory ridiculously well and are extremely tough to beat.

I've had suspicions about other 30-60 bots, that Gatorade has mentioned but I'll reserve judgment for them later.

It's more of an annoyance than anything. They're essentially killing my action, and they're generating tons of rake for UB, so UB hesitates to take any action. Tough situation to be in.
