The Challenge Is In Tweaking Your Poker Bot...
from the new-sports dept
A few years ago, we wrote about how online poker players were often getting assistance from training tools that told them what to do in certain situations. Of course, since then, there's been something of an online poker bubble generating a ton of attention and money. So, with that, it really shouldn't be any surprise that poker bots are becoming much more popular, allowing people to just let the bot play hands for them while they do something more productive (like sleep). While there are lots of arguments about ethics and whether this is legal, that didn't seem to be the most interesting part of the article. In fact, the article seems to have brushed over the most interesting part of the article itself. Apparently, the most popular bot, WinHoldEm, lets users tweak strategies -- and it's the strategies and not the bot that makes someone a winner. In fact, the article suggests it's becoming popular for users to swap and trade different formula sets. In other words, unlike what most people think of when they think of bots invading a game, there is still strategy involved, it's just that the strategy is in tweaking your bot to the best of its ability, which could actually depend on who the bot is playing against (and, assuming other bots are playing, how they're tweaked). So, perhaps the more modern equivalent to sports and games won't be your own feats of strength or strategy -- but how you tweak a computer to play for you.

Human beings simply will not play poker programs for real money ... no matter how someone rationalizes it. True, there is strategy involved, but strategy is not the end of poker success ... it is merely the beginning.
As soon as new players realize that they have to play a tilt-less computer program that never sleeps, never gets tired, never miscalculates a move ... online poker will be history.

Re: No Subject Given
Plus there will always be thousands of people that are too clueless to realize that bots even exist...
And in the end, even if all legit players stop playing by some odd chance, then the online world of gambling will be nothing but bot stragety tweakers who 'play' while they sleep.
Do you think this bothers the poker businesses any? They will still be taking a rake and the "bot players" will still have to buy in with real money. Therefore they still make shitloads of money.
Online poker isn't going anywhere.

Re: tweaking
If anyone has some I would be happy to compare.as I find that you can beat winholdem's play 68% of the time.just study its play it will hold or fold exactly the same way with no deviation at all. I would like to see the starting, and raise hands,chart that someone thinks they can win with.

Poker Bobby Scam
My friend purchased the one from: http://pokerbobby.com/

The truth about holdem-bot.com
The author of the poker bot said: "It is a very very simple program. It doesn't need to be a winning poker bot." See yourself and click HERE for all information.
It will be very nice if the owner of the bot can tell us here the truth about his poker bot. I don't want to cry: "It's a scam!" I want to know the truth only.

If you stop it at the right time...
If you stop it at the right time with profit then it works too. Your own waves for luck are going up and down, it is named the "personal permanency" coming from roulette gambling. If you make a profit with this robot at a 1/2 table then it's not a bad way to stop ist and restart at a .25/.50 table to take the bad times without luck with small losses. You can't wait for good and bad times fictitiously in gambling. You have to play real.

I made this bot
I made this software to see if it's possible to create a poker bot that can play against human people. It was an experiment, and I neither failed or succeed. The fact is that you need a human brain to understand another human brain. And this what poker is all about.
This software is not a scam in itself, allthough some of its publishers promote it rather aggressive.
I spent years developing the bot and still doing it.
Thanks,
Filip

To let the bot play you need a profile playing a winning strategy that can also be tweaked to improve.
