Do poker robots really work?

Question

do poker bots relly work, is there anything to dowload for frr from the net? is there anyone who has one running and whats the results so far, have you made money from them.??

Answer 1

No not really. You can program a bot that will be profitable but it is very hard. Anything that you can download or buy will get detected very quickly and you'll lose all your funds. Anything that you program yourself will eventually get detected and you'll lose your funds. If you have the skill set required to program a bot you have other options to make money that are much easier.

I guess the problem is this.  Poker is an imprecise game.  It's not like chess where there are always a finite number of moves and with a fast computer you can figure out what the play.

In poker there is knowledge that you have to guess at.  What cards do your opponents have.  You can only guess at that.  A player could be getting aggressive with 52 off suit.  Or may have a straight flush.  You just never know.  This is where instinct comes in.

No bot is going to be able to get an accurate read on people and play with the accuracy of a good player.  All it can do is use the math and operate as it was programmed to do.

In limit games, playing the math, I could see a bot making some money over time.  Relentless adherence to the math of the game should yield positive results, even without human intuition.

But at the end of the day, my issue is this.  You are handing your bank roll (or portion thereof) into the hands of an illegal computer program.  You are hoping that it will make the right decisions and make you money over time.  But as a computer program, it doesn't care if it wins or loses.  If it does lose, it's still your money.

Poker sites don't like bots.  They make people nervous.  So if they catch you using one they will shut you down.  They may even keep all your money.

So you are risking the bot losing.  And you are risking being suspended from the site you are playing on.

That's a lot of ways to lose your money.

I think you'd be better off just learning to play the game well.  There's enough fish out there to make money if you put in the effort.

Answer 3

Here is my question to you; why don't you learn to play poker honestly.  Why degrade the great game of poker by wanting to cheat and rob others of their hard earned money.

If you aren't winning money don't resort to cheating.   There is plenty of great material and software you can honestly use to help your poker game.  People like you disgust me! Always looking for dishonest means to win.  

Shame on you dude.

If you see someone advertising, and charging for a fee poker poker bot, it's a scam. People who create poker bots keep it to themselves. Besides, online poker rooms are getting good at detecting bots. When they do detect a bot they close that player's account, and give the money back to the cheated players.
