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.

Sounds like a for-profit version of the game Mindrover (amongst others, e.g. redcode, etc).

next step
The next obvious step is to develop a program that can write the bot strategies and tweak them based on results...

This is absolutely the best way to END forever online poker.
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
Whatever dude, tell that to all the online gambling addicts that are too lazy to leave their house to get a fix...
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
I am looking for some of these tweaking profiles,if there are any such things.
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.

Re: tweaking
Try looking at winholdem.com in the forums. In there they have a section where ppl post their formulas.

WSOPR Poker Bot
The game level demonstrated by the bots in WSOPR that have taken place in Las Vegas, was really good, the 6 bots had a level worthy of this competition, it was very touching to see how they played, even better than many humans.
You can see the web of a WSOPR contestant at:

Yeah - Poker Bobby is a big scam. One of my friends did also buy this so called winning robot. He won alot, about 100 USD the first 2 days, but lost it all the day after when he did not monitor Bobby's play. So stay away from Bobby!

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...
I have tried it some hours. I think it makes only a profit it you have tons of fish at the table. But then you can play without it. But if there are enough fish then you can go shopping and let the robot make the money.
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.

poker bot
Poker Pilot is a bot I have been using and it is cheap to try. $24.95 It is not a scam site. You do have to configure it. So, if you don't know how to play you won't be successful. It does evaluate your preflop hands.

Re: No Subject Given
this comment is idiotic, poker bots are only profitable at micro and low limit tables
additionaly poker bots can only play one form of poker: limit

I made this bot
I have created the software in pokerbobby.com, holdem-bot.com, holdemrobot.com, pokerobot.com, botace.com, holdemagent.com etc.
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.
