It does seem bizarre that a player cannot have a script that auto folds 72o and yet they can have a script that colludes with 100s of other players to avoid each other in Spin&Go's or that sits every green-colored player in the cash lobby. One tiny action at the table is illegal but massive actions away from the table is OK.
As a zoom cash player I find having to table select non-Zoom games a freaking annoying thing to have to do.
I don't think of table selection as necessarily part of poker. It is not part of Zoom poker. It is part of some other forms of poker. I'd rather focus my scarce time on getting better at playing hands, not getting better at table selecting.
I believe Pokerstars TOS restricts automation illegality to in-game decisions ie when already seated.
So far Pokerstars approach away from in-game seems to be that if it can be done manually then it is allowed to be automated so all seating scripts are OK.
I think that is naïve as you simply can't do manually in practical terms what is being automated.
You can't manually click open 24 tables at once. You can't manually find all green coloured players and sit them like lightning.
And you can't manually collude with hundreds of mates to one by one feed off a pool of unsuspecting recreational players.
