Do you guys think this is a graph of a bot?



He/She/It played only AA in his first 1800 hands or so. Then suddenly started playing like a decent reg. What is the explanation? A malfunctioning bot? Someone donating money to the poker communitiy then realizing he wants it after all?

is this cash nl10 6-max?

a malfunctioning bot is unlikely because the owner would have detected it before you catched 1800 handson him imo

He could be 'faking stats' so after 1800 hands everyone would think hes a nit or just a fish experimenting new things?

how is he playing AA in the first 1800 hands?

It is NL50 cash.

He played AA normally. No limpallin or other BS. Openraise, 3b etc.

There is a tracker site, which suggests he plays only NL50, and lost 1600 USD during the playing only AA period.

It is beyond me why would someone lose so much money on purpose to fake stats.

Or he is adjusting the bot. Or they play (the player) 30% of the volume I read on a site of those junk.

Thanks!
Are you comparing industry standard with Pokerstars? It would be great if you had the same fees as them but I'm not seeing it at low stakes.

Code:
888
$3 Heads Up reg (2.73 + 0.27)    9.9%
$5 Heads Up reg (4.55 + 0.45)    9.9%
$10 Heads Up reg (9.10 + 0.90)  9.9%

Stars
$3.50 Heads Up reg (3.29 + 0.21)  6.4%
$7 Heads Up reg (6.67 + 0.33)      5%
$15 Heads Up reg (14.29 + 0.71)   5%


888 
$5 Heads Up Hyper ($4.69 + 0.31)  6.6%

Stars
$7 Heads Up Hyper ($6.85 + 0.15)  2.2%
Those fees are just unbeatable, there's no other way to say it.

The heads up turbos on 888 are different to Stars, having 1000 starting chips instead of 1500, the same as Unibet have but they have 3% fee on all husng's whereas yours start at 8%.

888 $3 Heads Up turbo ($2.78 + 0.22) 7.9%
UNI $4 Heads Up turbo ($3.88 + 0.12) 3%

888 competes great with scheduled tournaments, it's a shame I have to go elsewhere for s&g's when I'd be happy to play all my games on 888 along with many others I'd imagine.

Why you removed rake back at all? It was nonexistent in before, but you cut it by 30% in tokens value + scratch cards are not wort anything at all. My 2 last cards combine were worth like 15 USD.

For 2 months I raked couple k usd, get back around 80 USD.

This is humiliating for most of your customers. Youre giving people couple usd per month. Not everyone is from eastern Europe or Africa. Kill raakeback totally and make some reasonable promos for that money.

To be honest i dont even know where to start...the old design was far better/more comfortable to play. What i hate the most with the new design is this:

-my screenname not at the table, only below the table together with the stacksize. Seriously, what is this?

-when an mtt is finished theres always this big message with a flag showing your position and wha u won.

I really wonder who in your departement came up whit the idea of an update like this. 888 was perfectly playable before and now the playability decreased at least 30%. Hope u guys think this over.

Btw: the issue with the security token is still here. No update un 888's side.

Can you remove the auto log out after X amount of being afk. It's super tilting being hs player and having to re log in like 10 times per hours, while waiting for action.

Or make the "im back" window, actually pop up to the front with the client, so I can actually click it.

It does pop up to the front of the computer etc for about the last 30 seconds or so.

Welcome to 888poker’s Weekly Deal, with all the best news, results and insights from the past week.

THIS WEEK: April 21, 2019

“*******hi18” Wins Mega Deep Week After Finishing Runner Up in XL Blizzard Event

The $215 buy-in Sunday Mega Deep attracted 325 players who rebought 152, which meant a $100,000 prize pool was up for grabs. Among the top 45 finishers to get a piece of it were “GangstaGo” (25th - $750), “sikosomatik” (15th - $1,250), “bluffing420s” (6th - $4,400), “Namlleh” (4th - $8,250), and “MaximeC25” (3rd - $11,000).

After 10 hours and 18 minutes, Germany’s “*******hi18” defeated “ROBBIEMAC01” in heads-up play to win the $19,350 top prize. You might remember that last week the latter won a 2019 WSOP Main Event seat in our weekly Sunday satellite.

Last Saturday April 13, “*******hi18” actually finished runner-up in the XL Blizzard Event #28: $30,000 6-Max for $7,656.

“ccyrenne’ Wins Sunday Challenge for $5,676

The $109 buy-in Sunday Challenge featured a $20K GTD, which it cruised by after 200 players rebought 64 times. The 264-entry field generated a $26,400 prize pool distributed amongst the top 27 players including “JohnJones34” (24th - $264), Sam “sammygrinder” Grafton (22nd - $264), “Heaaless” (14th - $396), “veeea” (7th - $1,056), and “HomoDeus” (3rd - $3,102).

After 8 hours and 28 minutes, Canada’s “ccyrenne” beat out Russia’s “Lucky_Frutti” in heads-up play to win the title and $5,676 first-place prize.

“ikbenlen” Turns $22 into $4,214 in Mini Mega Deep

The $22 buy-in Mini Mega Deep had 855 players rebuy 309 times to surpass the $20K GTD by creating a $23,280 prize pool. The top 108 players got a piece of it including “popsnpoker” (27th - $111.74), “tutti404” (17th - $158.30), “progressive” (10th - $251.42), “serrazina11” (5th - $1,198.92), and “GoFighTer” (3rd - $2,269.80.

After 8 hours and 42 minutes, “ikbenlen” bested Ukraine’s “alexkarb” in heads-up play to win the tournament for $4,214.16.

“elenabb12” Wins Monsoon for 2nd Time in 6 Months

The $55 buy-in Monsoon cruised by its $10K GTD by attracting 203 players who rebought 48 times. The 251-entry field resulted in a $12,550 prize pool distributed to the top 27 players including “mpompos6” (21st - $125.50), “CoinShipper” (15th - $188.25), “PokaLoco” (8th - $376.50), “YSoSerious7” (5th - $753), and “McGretzky979” (4th - $1,098.12).

After “ajaxsucks” bowed out in third place for $1,474.62, the title came down to “elenabb12” and “ankyjambo.” After 6 hours and 31 minutes in the tournament the former prevailed to win the $2,698.29 top prize.

It marked the second time “elenabb12” has won the tournament in the past six months. The last time was back on November 26 when he topped a 147-entry field to win it for $2,150.

“888pruha” Claims Sunday Deepstack Monsoon for Russia

The $55 buy-in, $10,000 GTD Sunday Deepstack Monsoon just snuck past its guarantee by drawing 155 players who rebought 57 times. That created a $10,600 prize pool that was paid out to the top 27 finishers including “KToFTW” (23rd - $106), “nutcracker95” (12th - $185.50), “Dealeris00” (6th - $530), “JohnJones34” (5th - $636), and “Roma3Pari” (3rd - $1,245.50).

The title came down to Germany’s “tier999111” and Russia’s “888pruha,” and after 8 hours and 20 minutes the latter came out on top to win the title and $2,279 first-place prize.

On Their Way to Vegas!

Three More Players Win 2019 WSOP Main Event Packages

Remember, every Sunday at 20:30 GMT now through June 888poker will host a $1,050 “WSOP 2019 Main Event Package Qualifier.” It’s a great way to win your way into poker’s most prestigious tournament, just ask 2014 WSOP champ and 888poker Ambassador Martin Jacobson, who won a seat during the XL Blizzard.

Those who win their way into the 2019 World Series of Poker Main Event will be awarded a prize package valued at $12,600. Those packages include six nights (July 4-10, 2019) at the luxurious Vdara Hotel in Las Vegas, a $10,000 WSOP Main Event buy-in, $1,000 for travel and expenses (paid directly to your 888poker account), and an invite to a welcome party at the Vdara Hotel.

This week’s qualifier had 48 entries which meant three more players won their way to Vegas. They included Costa Rica’s “IHaveNoBoss,” German XL Eclipse champ “amverskltn97,” and the UK’s “ruuuuby.”

What to Expect Coming Up from 888poker


For the second year in a row, we have partnered with Poker Central to proudly bring eligible 888poker players an exclusive offer.

For those players we would like to give them the opportunity to rollback to Poker 7 until the next version of Poker 8 (that will address feedback and have significant improvements) will be released, we have come up with a temporary solution.

As the solution is a bit complicated to post, we have established a process where members can contact us at Productfeedback@888poker.com with subject line “Take me to Poker 7” and we will send them an email that gives them directions on how to revert to Poker 7. It will also inform them that in the next version, they will be able to go to Poker 7 via settings in the new (Poker 8) client.

It is also important to let them know that in the next Poker 8 version, they will also have the ability to revert back to the Poker 7 from the settings in the software.
Regards

I really like the new software, I don't know why everybody here is complaining, guess the usual "I hate changes" thinking.

Hope you'll be adding more options for a lobby table filter. Seeing every other PLO table being push/fold is annoying.
