Please keep Pm'ing me issues and anything you need but I wont be posting in this thread anymore.
of course , i posted a clear proof that they are bots , and your answer is that "The problem is that you instantly think they are bots when there is no proof that they are." .

either you never played poker , or you are dumb , or you are trolling , because we regs KNOW that its impossible to the people have the exact same stats , even though if i was teaching my cousin and my brother how to play , give then the same open raise chart , give then the same advice and tell then to play the same way , they wouldnt have the same exact stats like those guys , then , there are 2 options , either its the same player playing in 13 accounts instead of playing in just one and making more money in the race, and also not having a reason to be banned , or , they are bots (even though it was the same player , those accounts play against each other , wich would lead into colusion ) . , also , its not some random thing , the accounts are not random accounts , they all are the regs who plays the most , also , if it was common to have these especific stats , some other players would have the same vpip pfr and 3bet , but different cbet , or different fold to cbet , or different raise cbet etc.. , but not , either the player have every stat identical , or they are just clearly not the same bot account , this is the last time i will explain for you why they are bots , and any person who arent dumb , never played poker , or trolling understand this , also , the accounts still playing normally ....

No. Just no. The biggest problem is that you have many bots on your network. If bringing this fact up publicly, since you guys fail to remove and deter them when brought to your attention privately, keeps some people from losing money to the bots you harbor, then great.

Any new player that may want to research first will just see bot and get scared. They shouldn't be scared, but it should deter them from depositing with your network's piss poor approach to game integrity.

You want a comment regarding latvian, eastern european players. Everyone just screams bot any chance they get when not all is what it seems.
I very much agree that many legit euro players get unfairly accused, but that's because many of the bots are coming from that part of the world.

Security are working hard everyday to keep the games fair but again.
What type of poker accomplishments and academic degrees do these people have? What is their yearly salary?

It makes no difference what so ever what i say here because everyone is just a bot. I can tell you one thing. Not everyone you suspect is a bot.
I think I have a pretty good record with my suspicions. I've been tracking bots for a while now. I even have guidelines for determing whether an account is botting. I realize not every accuser has such strict guidlines.

I am trying to be really honest here with you without coming across rude but seriously. We have a security team. They are constantly looking. We have tools that we use. Yes we dont have stars security and it has nothing to do with being lazy. No one has the same security as them so i guess they are all lazy?
I can't say with any certainly whether your team is lazy. I can say with 100% certainty that your team is ineffective to a comical degree. Nobody expects you to be Stars, but it doesn't even appear that you're trying. If your security team is actually trying then they are out of their element.

Let me also tell you that i have a friend who works in security at stars and even they cant win the fight 100%.
Nobody should expect a 100% success rate. When money is at stake there will always be someone willing to take the risks to get it. Stars at least gives people the impression that they try their best when it comes to game integrity.

I am not denying there are bots, im not denying it at all. I would say just stop double clicking someones profile and because the play a solid game and are eastern european doesnt make them a bot.
Sure. Instead of looking at where the account is from first, they should be looking for bot tendencies and statistical similarities across multiple suspicious accounts like the OP of this thread did.

While I have heard more than one person say this and I've said it could be possible, I don't think it's the likeliest scenario. When incompetence can be attributed I tend to lean that way instead of the more conspiracy theory type reasons.

The first time it came to my attention was when the Chico Network removed a handful of bots and a week later were getting hit with a DDoS. I still don't know if there was any connection, but it made sense as a possibility when someone first mentioned a possible connection between the two events.

It doesn't make you crazy. It actually makes you a significantly better player if you know who they are and to avoid them as much as possible. Every cent I can keep out of the hands of these cheaters is worth it to me. If the sites aren't going to help the players then we need to help eachother avoid giving these cheaters as much action as possible.

Stop trying to win and start pushing game integrity to be a much larger focus of your network. Then watch as the completely warranted criticism you constantly receive quickly becomes positive feedback and people start recommending WPN.

I expect it to remain business as usual with you guys though. Because of that the poker community will continue to call you out and make sure everybody knows the truth when you continue to try to minimize your network's rampant bot issue.

Again because i cant say this enough. When you think someone is a bot, it does not mean that they are. All you are doing is driving yourself crazy thinking it and scaring away new players. I can promise you one thing. Every name that has been suspected with stats etc here has been sent by me to security and investigated. If they are still playing then security has deemed them to be real players.


Lol this post is infuriating.

Hard proof of 10+ accounts with identical stats is presented almost every other month on these forums and then you say something like oh that doesn’t mean they’re bots? You guys can’t be that dumb seriously. Turns out maybe you guys are because nothing has changed.

It's not just identical stats and absurdly high winrates that make it obvious that these are bots.

The Russian bots which ChicagoJoey mentioned in his video that were "removed" and then returned about a week later (lmfao) under different usernames at 10PLO were literally making every single decision within 2 seconds despite playing across multiple tables, some of which were heads up, others which were shorthanded against tough regs, etc.

It didn't matter how hard of a decision it should've been, or whether it was a preflop, flop, turn, or river decision. They all played without hesitation and without utilizing any of their time banks, and they still obliterated even the best players.

So not agreeing with having anything but mucked cards which is coming at some point seems a little strange. Playing sites that are completely anon or allowed to change nicknames every so often seems like its more possible to get away with alot of things or am i way off track here?
wpn first said that mucked cards at showdown was coming soon in what, 2012? or was it 2011? Dev team needs another 6 years, or can we expect a short wait like 3 years?

I last played on acr in 2016, but back them V2 and mucked cards were supposed to be coming within a few months. this whole "V2" is never happening

indeed, those 3 newer accounts are crushing hard..

wpn rep, their usernames are:

kr0na
Gelllemar
ObeTwice

They're the exact same bot profiles as the ones that were banned earlier this year.. they come back with new accounts immediately and play in 8 hour shifts with no breaks like their past accounts... nice game integrity

I actually had a look at my bot list that I have made and checked the lobby, most of them arent around right now so MAYBE some of them got banned. I cant speak for the 6 max games but in the FR games most bots run 22/17/7 VPIP / PFR / 3Bet so be on the look out!

Hey, is the reason all these accounts playing with the Pokerking skin have such a similar ABI because there is a buy-in cap on the Pokerking skin?

I have never seen an account using the Pokerking skin with an ABI over $30USD and don't see them playing $100+ MTTs

The network could certainly use an infusion of



I think the next High Five Series would be the perfect time to introduce some Tegridy. Enough with this snicklefritz bot bs.

Every other sure shows mucked cards at showdown. So stop lying to us about how hard it will be to implement it.

Ppl believe your site is bot friendly. U can disprove that by showing mucked cards. The only reason not 2 is if ACR knows this will expose the hitting network.

No excuses. Every site has mucked cards.

Plz stop the reverse psychology.

Ignition is super recreational friendly. They show mucked cards. Always have. No way your devs can’t fix mucked cards. There are no excuses man. Your company clearly doesn’t care.

Seeing mucked cards does nothing to disprove botting. There are plenty of bots on sites that show mucked cards. Ignition/Bovada being one of them.

Main reason i stopped playing on WPN...

Even in tournaments, there are these types of problems. It's a shame. They have a great tournament schedule, good GTDs, just a huge problem of bots and poor management.

I haven't played NL cash on WPN in awhile, decided to check out the tables and noticed 3 bots still playing after reporting them one year ago in this thread (https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/2...87/?highlight=) and also emailed to security






their basically identical stats:

So are these bots actually any good? I assume so, because if a third of the field at a given level plays the exact same way and is exploitable/beatable it'd be a great game to play in

Great game against bots at 25NL? Even the somewhat exploitable ones aren't exploitable enough to make it worth your time and effort in the microstakes. Bots these days come prepackaged with a solid basic strategy. They're not ever tilting off stacks or losing focus like a normal reg will at these stakes. The better bots will also adjust/be adjusted to how you're playing against them.

Some bots are big winners. Some bots are slight losers. Some bots are breakeven. They're almost always as good and often much better than the average reg at the stakes they play.

Almost couldn't believe this until I googled "online poker bots for sale" and found a company which seems to have the capability to run highly sophisticated bot profiles.

There almost seems to be an ideological difference in the way "real" poker player think about poker vs. what these data scientists who have monetized their research, thinks about poker. These bot makers aren't hiding - they're proud of their "work/biz model".

Every US facing non-regulated off shore grey market site/network that spreads lots of NLHE cg is listed as "low security", as opposed to some regulated sites like Stars, where they admit the game security is "high". People will (and prob should) disapprove of their ideology, but they are proud of their work and if you look at their site, even a techie drooler could see that it's well developed.

The only sites that I could even play on without fear of bots are the ones spreading mix games/odd variants, as I cant imagine Pot Limit Badeucy has been worked on by firms like them. Whatever, I like those games better anyways. I prob could barely beat live 2/5 NL and would be B/E at best in most 5/T lineups. But I don't mind free money if that's what ACR is offering, in a hush-hush partnership w bot sellers and the bot users. The poster who pointed out the mutual benefit to the operator and the botting firm certainly opened my eyes.

In 2018, when off shore poker has been shown time and time again not to be trustworthy, it begs the question: if WPN doesn't care about game security, then why should I? If the message from your site is essentially "game security is what we arbitrarily determine it is, take it or leave it" I'm going to take, take, take. If the sucker is going to be him or me, I'm going to make sure its him every time. See you on the tables. I've got to add a couple a la carte items to my cart first, before I check out. Not bc I'm worried about you catching me, but bc I want to ensure that my business is running at optimal profitability, just like you look after yours. The SN I'm going to create will be CatchMeIfUCan and the other 11 accounts (which I've programmed to deviate slightly from each other) will ALL be similar sounding. I'm not hiding bc I don't have to apparently. Passive income is a beautiful thing, right guys?

Suspect hand versus one of those "suspected" tourney bot accounts that all have identical stats. I accidentally mis-click bet 1BB instead a standard sizing and villain snap folded. I can't imagine a human would ever fold any part of his 3-bet range that checks back flop, needing only 5% equity to call.
