Libertarian Poker - No Rules - Poker News

I firmly believe there should be a poker site where you can use ANY software you want that is not strictly cheating. This includes

-autofolders
-any type of HUD
-bots
-20bb or less push fold ranges

Its not like people aren't doing this stuff anyway, they are just hiding it. What's wrong with being honest about the state of bots and software in the game? What's wrong with having software that folds 72o UTG in FR? Hell, this might even give fish a fighting chance by letting them download workable preflop strategies...

I know I'd be playing there! Any other stuff that would be cool on Libertarian Poker? What do you think would happen?

I bet the company would make money thats for sure. 9 bots sat at each table 24/7 playing level 1 poker.

Aren't you afraid a donk from this site that lost all his $ to you will chase you down and push you off a staircase?

Hey I have seen Irobot, having so many bots playing poker instead of people will not end well. Except for the company LDO

Yes the bot the owners set up that can see everyone's cards.

BTW libertarians believe in laws, name doesn't fit. You should call it anarchy poker or something

Yea you'd have to have laws against card sharing / multi accounting or you'd get a bunch of teamup bots, thus libertarian and not anarchy! Believe me i've been banned from the politics forum twice I know the difference!

Sorry I was going by what your title said -No Rules. I didn't realize that meant some rules.

His understanding of anarchy and libertarianism isn't very high, which would explain it. His understanding of rape, however, is high.

So, what exactly is "strictly cheating" then? How would a site know if a there were team bots running?

I suppose if you believe you're better than any bot could ever be that you'd find a site like that very profitable. I think it would be a cheater's paradise.

Libertarian poker would be poker without specific requirements to play certain hands a certain way. In other words, its poker.

Democrat and Republican poker would be if they took 30 percent of the pot off the winning player, gave some of it back to the loser, but then gave most of it to someone at the table who wasnt even in a hand but who hired a good lobbyist and wrote the dealers resume for him.

Wow, no input on this?

For me personally i'm tired of spending 70% of my mouse clicking time on easy preflop fold decisions... way easier to multitable if the sites would just loosen up a bit..

I think a major reason there's no response is because of the Libertarian/no rules error. Also, I wouldn't want to play there.

Why does it need to be a different site? How about adding tables with bots allowed as an option on existing sites, just like deep tables, shallow tables, and speed tables are now? If people wanted to play on those tables, they could. If not, they wouldn't. More choice is good.

kind of like an all drugs olympics. In fact why have any rules at all, or a "game" for that matter. Why don't we all take our wealth and possessions, put them in a big pile, and you get whatever you can take by any means you can.

I think Spade Club has an autofold feature, using a ~PokerStove hand range feature to define your range. IDK, it was when it first came out...haven't played there since.

But you could bot it up over there too! GL OP.

Poker is already becoming a coder competition, this would at least put it out in the open.

If a bot can beat you now, it doesn't matter if the sites give permission it or not, that bot is gonna be beating you.
