@Winning TD any plans to try to incent LHE games? I've been trying to game start and when I do a game gets going, but it would be nice if there could be some incentives around it. HU rake discounts only apply to HU tables I believe so it would be nice if there were some way to encourage game starting (same rake as HU tables, or increased RB for HU play at a 6max or FR table just a couple thoughts) and to run some promos geared at the LHE community. Just spit balling ideas.

LHE is not as sexy as NLHE but their is still a player base out there looking for good games. I hate the game play on ignition but I'm forced to play there if I want to pLay more than one table. If ignition can get LHE going, so can WPN.

Thanks

They play long hours though but maybe they just have what it takes for volume grinding (I can only ever grind 3 hrs max). Was a guy in chat spamming all these guys were bots the other day. Also fatcarpmd, I think he has a bit tighter stats than the others mentioned and seems more bot like to me, but I don’t know what to look for in nl
Here is the main one.

I think there is more pressing issues on the network than trying to revive a dead game.

Copied this post from that thread as I think this is elegantly worded.

Despite crushing this stake, as well as two accounts individually winning 120 and 150 buyins, none of these 8 accounts have played a single poker hand outside of 25nl on ACR. Imagine winning at 9bb/100 over a 170k sample and not playing a single hand at a higher stake.

These 8 accounts play identical aggressive pre flop strategies in 6max, Full Ring, and HU.

Also, general postflop stats(WTSD, WonSD, WWSF, AFQ) are nearly identical as well. All 8 accounts use absurd levels of aggression in 6Max and Full Ring. They all follow the same trend: High Flop AFQ 39%+, higher turn AFQ 42%+, and passive river AFQ of 24-30%. Their HU strat is more normalized.

# (https://imgur.com/a/3h9LTFg) #

Another red flag, is their general strategy when facing CBets across each street. I used 6max as an example.

# (https://imgur.com/a/JRzwDrO) #

Folding to turn CBets only 33% of the time, and that’s the highest of the group?!

It’s the same story for Full Ring and HU too, under folding flops and turns then folding reasonably often on rivers. I have the stats to support it along with a bunch of other relevant and debatably irrelevant data scattered across different sheets and workbooks. But I’m tapping out.
obetwice, glowworm and loktar back in the mix at plo10/25/50/100

All the mid and stakes bots running around the clock without a care in the world.

It has come to my attention that one of the bots has been playing 15/30 for a couple weeks now (CarrdSharrk)

Again i just checked some things on this player. What things do you think classify him a bot?

I don't need to repeat myself as I have posted hundreds of times and as recently as yesterday in great detail why this is a bot.

https://imgur.com/a/vvcddpT

compare this with another highstakes bot

and glowworm, a true legend of the plo100/200 streets (but not a single hand at higher or lower stakes)

whatever you are checking is probably not relevant/important if you can't spot the most obvious bots in the world

BTW im not trying to argue with you. Im just interested to see. I check some players live records and sometimes they are absolute beasts in the live scene also.
Like i guess not everyone with really good stats is a bot. Is that fair to say?

Who said these are really good stats? These are absolutely not "good" stats. In fact top players will rip players with these stats to shreds. They are stats that are ONLY seen with this particular bot that is on basically every stake on your PLO cash tables. Nothing about the way this bot plays is in any way difficult for a player that is in the top 5 percentile of players to exploit. That is a very important distinction because the vast majority of players are not in the top 5 percentile. So what happens is that the bot steals fish/bad reg money that would have been won by the best players.

Edit: Perhaps you are talking about win rate, the win rates are unimportant, some bots are winning prerakeback, some are losing. What is important is POSTFLOP stats. There are specific stats that these bots only have in common with each other, and no winning human regulars. Some of these are MULTIWAY FLOP CBET>HU FLOP CBET, FLOP BET VS MISSED CBET(FLOAT), TURN CHECK RAISE, PREFLOP SQUEEZE>PREFLOP 3BET, FLOP TURN AND RIVER AGGRESSION FACTOR/FREQUENCY\

A few years ago someone mentioned in the pokerstars botring thread that SQUEEZE>3BET is not some magical formula to winning. They were correct. Multiway flop cbet being higher than hu flop cbet also is not some magical formula to winning that is some tightly kepty secret amongst crushers. But every single one of these bots does this.

I didnt take a good look at the stats and compare.
I guess my point is and where i was going with this. I have seen names of friends who have been accused of being bots but i know are absolute beasts at poker.
Its like where do you draw the line.
Again please dont think im trying to argue with you . This is a friendly discussion

Did any of them have a multiway flop cbet that was higher than hu flop cbet? As well as a flop float percentage over 75%? If the answers to both of these were yes then it is a good chance that they are in fact a bot. If they also min raised or folded when facing a straddle EVERY SINGLE TIME, had a preflop squeeze% that was higher than preflop 3b%, never played cap/no rathole tables or tournaments, and had a flop, turn and river AFq that was very close to the bot average of 46/45/32 then I'd say it is a certainty.

Winning_TD sensory overload probably isn't doing you any favors. My challenge to you is to have Handofgod66 PM you ONE stat, and only ONE stat, that you agree would be abnormal if it were outside a certain range. And when you check that stat against those that are considered human versus those that are considered bots...I bet you might finally see the light. You will be like, "holy crap every one of these bot f@#$ers is making the same exact abnormal play."

Hands' has given given you a blueprint. These bots are winning up until a certain level, not because they have perfect stats, but because their programming is good enough to absolutely crush rec players.

The bots few/several abnormal stats are the real bot catching technique.

You have independent sites datamining your games that allows us to conclude that these accounts are definitely bots over very large samples of hand data. This is one of the easiest, most basic and most accurate methods for identifying bots. If your security team is not already doing this, or able to properly analyze this data to reach the same conclusions that we are, then you guys should hire somebody who is capable of doing that.

I hope you take that as advice. It really is necessary unless you are able to detect every piece of software that is connecting to your site, which I don't believe is possible. People have been developing methods to keep 3rd party software hidden from the detection of sites for years.

Mass distributed bot profiles can't hide their tendencies and hand data. The best they could do is customize each bot individually. This would lead to a much smaller amount of profitable bots.

In basically every practical application of statistics a certain threshhold becomes accepted as 0% due to chance. Is it statisically possible for the statue of liberty to start dancing due to random movements of atoms? Yes. But nobody would accept that as anything less than impossible even though it is merely improbable.

You made some excellent points, I think it is likely that there is more bots that do exist that are only being run on one or a few accounts. These require more advanced detection methods that I think would be outside my own purview. We have over 80 accounts that were previously active or currently active all with outrageously obvious stats that are not even close to how winning regulars are playing on WPN. Eventually bots will become more sophisticated that they are completely indistiguishable from top humans. Maybe we are already there but I doubt it.

Also it is interesting that not a single person has come in to vouch for any of these accused accounts to date. Some of the pokerstars botters defended themselves in the 2016 thread. It is a small piece of evidence but another one nonetheless.

Sorry if this has been brought up before, but does anyone else experience a glitch with the time bank warning sound on ACR? Even when my tables are on break, I hear a constant (roughly ever 7-10 seconds) timebank warning sound coming from ACR.

It's also incredible annoying while multitabling because I never know when I am hearing a real warning that requires my attention.

Any way to fix this issue without muting all sounds?

All you need to do is look up your opponents and find the 50 accounts that all play the same lol. It's not rocket science, just look for this.... Almost the same numbers over a variety of different stats. If you got a bunch of regs' stats together they don't look like carbon copies whereas these players are clones.



This list is old and from the old subforum.

So will hm2 work on the new software? I asked on IG a while back and they said more info will be out soon.

I am a rec player but wanna use a hud because I already do and I’m trying to slowly learn more. Plan on playing a little more again sense seems like ACR may be trying to address some of their issues which is a breath of fresh air.

I haven’t watched any of the twitch streams but I doubt I’ll get a refund from the .50 on demand sngs. I really can’t wait to watch the podcast with Joey to get a feel for Phil’s approach to all this. Basically to see if he seems sincere.
