Bots In Poker
Introduction
Some folk mistakenly think that using poker bots will reveal to you the inside workings of a poker website and how to ‘beat the system’. If you’re one of those people then unfortunately you’ve been mislead by whoever told you so or may have miss-read some other article on the topic. A poker bot is no different to any other internet bot, web robot, in that it is a piece of software automatically performing a repetitive task faster than a human could do – in this case that of a poker calculator capable of folding, betting or calling according to pre-determined scenarios.
Poker bots are banned
I wouldn't fancy playing poker against this poker bot
Now that might well sound excellent news as a way to win big in internet poker games – having a poker bot doing all your playing for you, guaranteed not to make an error due to miscalculating the odds etc. However, before you look for poker bots for sale on the internet – be aware that poker bots are simply banned from any of the poker gaming websites you’re likely to visit. Whilst most of the online poker games will have in-built calculators to help you, known as house-bots, if they detect a poker bot working against them – they’ll shut it out of the game. I think you’d have to agree that, for once, the poker website operators are quite right to shut out these poker bots, which are really just a form of cheating at poker. After all they could be playing 24/7 on multiple sites forging an enormous advantage over all the millions of legitimate online poker players.
Poker house-bots on the level?
Ah Ha! I can already hear the grumblings – but how do you know that the house-bot isn’t ‘loaded’ against you and on the level? Well without the poker websites inviting everyone and anyone to inspect its coding there will always be those who doubt the honesty of the poker websites, or at least doubt it when they aren’t winning! That’s the essential point to always remember regarding house-bots; you have to take the poker website on face value as being an honest one – exactly the same as walking into a ‘bricks and mortar’ poker room. If you think it’s not on the level – simply go elsewhere to play your poker.
