And these accounts were not just some computers running in some basement without anyone looking. At best(worst?) they were bot accounts with someone actively taking control, so captchas wouldn't matter at all.

These guys were not playing at same times that much, though there are some hands in between them. I also looked through all the hands I had where they had played against each other and didn't notice anything suspicious (doesn't mean they were not also colluding and/or softplaying, but I couldn't find any proof of it).

longtimenosee, a russian, seems pretty weird. Possible bot?

I've been playing poker since 2005. My nickname at the party Ant1sotsial. I'm not a bot! I don't won't to change my nickname, because I like that nickname! More than that, I would say that gambler.888 my friend. And the one who made this post, complete moron who can't win at poker money.

1 post on 2p2 in 5 years just to come on and say your not cheating in 1 way or another and then throw in gambler.888 who clearly is doing something suspicious!! is just plain SUSPICIOUS OVERALL! lol

I do not write 2 + 2 because I'm Russian. friend showed me this post. katallo and Villiroi with PokerStars can confirm that I am not a bot.
Аnd you do nothing, if you're here all nonsense you write.

Explain the bot will play from time to time one table NL2000$ with smiley? And will bot win at the NL1000$.

If you want to talk, call me at my skype moron. "KrucheVseh"

Did you just call me a moron??!!Thems fighting words

@ KrucheVseh

Most russians must really like their nickname at Tea Party then! Jokes aside, my apologies if what you're saying is true. Bots play all kinds of limits so no surprise seeing them at NL2000? And yeah, bots are winning at NL1000, they were even winning at NL1000 3 yrs ago, so go figure moron.

Thread has taken a turn for the worse.

Do you have a bet with your boyfriend about how many braindead posts you can avg/yr? That would explain them 15621 facepalms of yours

QED. Also, you're a homophobe.

That is 3.292 FACEPALMS a day since PartyPoker started in 1997! Must be sore as hell! hahahahah

I like the extra decimal places that imply accuracy when it turns out that actually, you can't even count when you're trying to insult someone.

Yo guys, just saw this thread, not read that yet, but can confirm that me (Rebell3eaR) is not a bot )

Please before accusing someone of being a bot, collect some hard evidence for it. None of the nicknames is mine (I am not even playing cash), but we do not want to turn this into a witch hunt I hope.

My friend "Villeroi" buyout Monthly keeps a blog on gipsyteam.ru, get blocked by PartyPoker 2 years ago, because he is a bot. And he lost 20k $. He wrote wherever possible! But the money, he had not returned. I am very nervous to this topic.
And most of all enrage comments: "It is the first time in the forum, then it is a bot!" "ha ha! bot unsubscribed!" etc... These trolls can get blocked tomorrow, and then I'll see that these morons will write...

If there is a respectable person on this forum, I'm ready to have a talk on Skype, and provide proof of evidence, the fact that I'm not a bot. My skype "KrucheVseh".

I doubt that Party decide who is a bot based on who accuses people in this thread, particularly when a lot of the accusers are demonstrably stupid.

How to avoid being hacked and mannies stolen

This is my confession

Juk

Aha, thanks (not that I was going to skype a strange anyway)

Don't take my word that Skype really does give away your IP - I don't use it... I do know that instant messengers (like AIM, Yahoo, etc) can reveal your IP though (but perhaps only in certain cases; like being sent a file, etc).

Better to be safe that sorry.

Juk

Very true.

In fact there's almost as much complete garbage posted on robot threads as there is on rigged threads. The only difference is that it actually makes sense that people would write and run robots.

Over the years I've seen countless statements making detailed claims about the number and quality of robots on various sites.

Just recently someone stated that 'even on Pokerstars' there were large numbers of very capable robots.

So, on the one hand we have PS who have access to the hand histories of ever hand the player ever played together with a vast amount of technical information that other players can never see and yet certain other players believe they know that there are large numbers of robots there.

The parallels between this 'knowing' that there are robots and the 'knowing' that the deal is rigged (without, of course, a shred of evidence) are quite amusing.

Of course, there may well robots. My point is not that they don't exist, just that people make wild and statements about how many, where, and their capabilities, with little or no credible evidence.

It's certainly justifiable to voice suspicions about players who play for infeasible numbers of hours per week or groups of players with extremely similar stats over a large sample of hands, but making definite statements based on some 'gut' feeling is not sensible.

Not sure this can help but checking what other games they play may be helpful
(f.e. i play some plo, mtt, fun played FL, tried some hu, husng etc.) Not sure that if a bot can beat 6max nlhe, he will be able to beat PLO! or mtt or smth
I think it will be much more difficult and useless and senseless to make a bot playing many formats, however of course many players stick to some discipline and don't play others.
p.s. i don't know other russian regs from that possible bot list

Did you just call me stupid?? who do you think got jackaroo and bludevill banned??!!

Are you saying your friend got banned...because he was a bot?? and you are whining about us faithful regs pointing out who we think are suspicious?? Now we know your friend was a bot THAT IS even MORE reason to assume shady things! ahhahaha THANKS for letting us all know that

THANKS for the post...i was actually considering skyping this drongo

Your not being able to read reinforces it.

Ignoring my other statement? I must really be stupid to be the only moron on partypoker who actually gives a **** about the poker ecology and fairness of games...sorry for giving a ****

Your other statement was a non-sequitur
