No. I don't want a 4 way pot which is what I'm protecting against. In that spot I want one spazzy bot to call and take down the pot and double up. Let my opponent slow play and or even come in with a 4-10 BB bet. The bots call him and now he gets bung-holed and is spewing chips down to the river. Keep in mind, I'm playing an opponent not just the bots.

I'm not sure why this is considered skill and real poker is not. If anything variance between players playing the same hand can be drastically different, therefore playing a hand correctly will not always yield the most profit. Also, playing vs. programmed opponents means whoever figures out algorithms for them first will pwn this site. I tried to play and lagged so badly it was not worth playing. Not worth it imo. See if you can build a roll with the free money they give out.

Also, since they can control the difficulty of the opponents, and/or how loose/tight they play they can artificially bloat their rake. eg. You and the other guy are the only ones playing with real money; so you can be put into spots where you have next to no equity thanks to programming.

So you play bad(open shove kings), the bots play worse and you want that to be changed? you are really upset about people calling when you open shove kings?

I just went to play. There are six $3 tables and two 7.50 tables which are both full. Why are there still only two 7.50 tables? It has been like this for months.

OK.. I don't think this site is to be trusted at all. I was messing around, experimenting with min re-raising preflop to steal pots, and this just happened. Needless to say, I had a hard time believing what I just saw.

edit *posted hand history below*

I'd love to hear how the site can explain this one...

Not sure what happened there; clearly seems like serious bug. I'm sending this one up for further review. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Is there a way to end a match gracefully after both opponents agree to continue playing past 30 hands, such as a "sit out next hand" button?

All I can see is to close out the window and hope it disconnects before the next hand starts, which really sucks.

I really hope I am just missing something here, as this should be such a basic feature.

I agree, though I found the mid-stakes game the most fun.

Yes, our hope is to have this auto-add tables feature added next week. Thanks for your patience! This feature certainly does not take months to add; however, we are also working on some other items too.

Unfortunately you are not missing something. You are right. We need a more graceful way to stop! Apologies and thank you for the feedback. It's been on the fix list for some time (but has gotten passed up for some more critical additions). Hopefully we'll have it soon. Thank you for the feedback.

I like this and im gonna promote this on other forums I frequent as well as facebook and twitter.

I wanna build a roll for free by playing whomever I can

Just trying it out with the play money tables. I figured I would check out the AI's since they should play the same (real v play)unlike human opponents. Interesting idea, but obviously concerned opponent is a bot too.......

Im concerned that the AI is flawed or just makes random decisions... How else can you explain an AI folding AA to a 3bet preflop?

It is a very rare bug. Still investigating, but we'll solve it!

In my experience on the site I think this a +EV play. The AIs seem to have a pretty wide range pre-flop from BB, SB, and button and would call a big raise from the bottom of their range. So he's gonna get a bunch of calls and then be in trouble post flop. They also will call an AIPF from OOP opponent with A rag suited, any pair, and some suited connectors. Get it in pre-flop with KK and you'll get one call and be 2.5 to 4:1 favorite for most hands.

That was the fish player/scaredy cat AI player

Haha yup.. Dude just had mad respect for my game.. He knew he was neg EV against any 2

I dont know about aces but here's one thats pretty close:

i tried to do the challenge with someone and the table was blank and could never connect to the server for either of us

Wow!

What browser?

Still having the problem?

is the cap on pending matches determined by the traffic for that particular match level? seems stange that the limit for 1.5s is 4, the lmit for 5s is 5, the limit for 10s is 3, and the limit for 25s is 4.

imo you should consider getting rid of or significantly raising these limits. one of the greatest benefits of this format is that it allows you to play at any time whether you have an opponent or not. if people could load up more at once it would create a huge increase in match play. right now i have all the 5s, 10s, and 25s full. i'd play more, but i can't, so instead i read nvg.

Really good point!!

We had the limit a long time ago when traffic was much lower - and we didn't want people to have to wait a long time for games to get played, but we need to up it again!

We're on it.
