Hi there

as you probably know a lot of bots were found in the midstakes sixmax cashgames on Ipoker as well as the Ongame-Network. Further investigations have shown what was pretty much an open secret:
These same bots also play on Party Poker.
Until today we have found approximately 70 bots in our database and the search is not over yet. With this post we would like to notify poker players about the situation. It is not getting any better.




Why do we do this? and Why are bots bad for the poker economy?

It is pretty simple :

-These accounts are CHEATING:
They are breaking the terms of service we all agree to when we sign up for a poker site. The bots are bad for you whether you are a professional, a casual player or anywhere in between, these cheating accounts are winning LOTS!! of money and they are either beating you, or taking money from players you could beat. Bots can play long hours without tilting or making mistakes, and they are improving constantly.
Even if you can beat them today, you may not be able to tomorrow.

-It has already worked for the Ongame Network:
We have already been through this process at Ongame and it was a success! Bots have disappeared from sixmax midstakes, because Ongame security department took your emails and the publicity this problem got seriously.

-These bots play on all sites' midstakes sixmax games, we urge all regulars from microgaming, entraction, merge and pacific to perform investigations on their games!





This is a screenshot from an alias of ~70 accounts playing sixmax cashgames from 2/4 to 10/20 no limit holdem in 2011,
According to PTR 62 bot accounts played 1795116 hands winning at an average of 1,81 ptbb for a net of USD 755549





Please contact partypoker and notify them about your concern:

they're everywhere !!!

and with anonymous tables on microgaming -- it makes them much tougher to catch. and entraction just doesnt care i think since probably 1000 people have complained about the fire_steel short stacking bot

Bots beating 2BB/100 from 2/4 to 10/20 and I can barely win @ 100nl. FML

thanks to everybody who helped me performing this investigation and ******** for giving me a good chunk of data to look at

a list of all names and detailed analysis has been sent to party

How do you find bots in your db?

Can you tell about their tendencies or typical stats that they have, so its easier to spot them at the tables? Also, are they fullstacking or shortstacking?

sent

How the F do these bots win at 1.81pt? Honestly that's scaaaary.

Seems like a pretty good testament to how detrimental tilt, boredom and spew can be to a regs bottom line.

Yeah but still... I think he means more from a programming perspective. Programming a bot that can win almost 4bb/100 at mid stakes 6m (which is supposed to be fairly tough) is a tremendous accomplishment.

Lol 70 accounts on Party Poker alone. Good work OP.

are these bots shortstacking?

No, they are fullstack

wowwwww

major respect to the botters. they scripted bots that almost racked up a million $. amazing.

they racked up more in the likes of 3+million
