Internet Poker

GoTz bOtZ? Are the hackers of cyberspace starting to rear their warez into our little corner of the internet? Online poker has always been under scrutiny for the possibility that the player behind those adorable kid's pictures were not the proud parent, but rather a cold-calculating poker bot dedicated to running a perfectly set game to extract the maximum amount of money.

Which is fine against most poker players and novices to the game that don't think beyond looking those pretty suited broadway cards sitting in front them. Controversy was recently stirred over at the 2+2 forums when poster "SukItTrebek" had viable evidence that four bots were being used at Full Tilt's $200 no limit hold em' tables. Better players will overcome a bot's tendencies since it becomes easy to see if they check-raise with certain hands, and only push with the mortal nuts, players will adjust to the programmed "rules" the bot must follow.

Makes you think if your game has become a little predictable eh?

Here's a dabble of the post from the original poster and careful about opening the entire thread as slower internet connections may not be able to handle its size:

Cliffnotes: I discovered NL bots on Full Tilt earlier this year and reported them. Full Tilt investigated them for many weeks and asked me to refrain from posting about them until the investigation was complete. At the end of March, the bots disappeared, almost assuredly having had their accounts frozen. A week ago, Full Tilt emailed me that their investigation had been concluded, thanked me for my help, but refused to provide any details about the bots or the investigation. Before I had a chance to make this post, the situation took an absurd new twist. The bot accounts have now begun playing again, presumably having been cleared by Full Tilt???
