How many bots are there on PartyGammon

Hi guys,

I recently played on Partygammon in the micro and lower stakes and got beaten horribly. Usually i consider myself a decent player so i expected not to get beaten by these player. Afterwards i analyzed the games with GNU Gammon and realzied that the played close to perfect. Equity realizations of 99% plus.

MY question now. Is party infected with Bots? Does even the fish play with Backgroundsoftware or what is going on in todays games?
Where do i get games without bots and can safely play for money?

Many thanks

Domster

First of all, that rake is just very high. unbeatably high for anyone. even the sharpest players. second, the level of play on any bg site for money is very strong. im not sure how much bots are influencing this, but I think you will find that its very tough to find a combination of weaker opponents and a beatble rake online. my advice would be to try to hunt down a live chouette or cash action where you live. the play will be softer usually, and without rake.

Agree. If there ain't a game near you, start one. If there are no takers, give up and play poker.

Bottom line is BG sites need low rakes and sh*t hot software to keep (as much as you can) the cheats out, and to attract the poker crowd. Without that, the money game online will never prosper.

Re: How many bots are there on PartyGammon

the only way to make any money off online bg is extreme bumhunting, if you have 400 points advantage rake doesn't matter much; obviously not feasible for anybody who wants to play for fun

not sure how to combat bots effectively either, someone can just use an older bot like Jellyfish, which is plenty strong to destroy all fish in sight
