My motivations for this write up originated from an article ACR recently posted mentioning transparency about bots moving forward. I don’t believe for a second that ACR is unaware of these exact accounts. These accounts win at 5.9bb/100, and rake >8bb/100. The massive rake (upwards of $20k over this sample) doesn’t even account for the additional rake they generate for ACR simply by starting games. Fun players don’t open sit, but they’ll happily play short-handed and unknowingly donate to a ‘bot’, that game then fills up and ACR earns their max hourly rake.
These ‘bots’ are massively beneficial to ACR and that is why they continue to exist.
I know this problem isn’t exclusive to 25nl either. Shout out to ObeTwice, Gelllemar, and kr0na who have managed to win 580 buyins in half as many hands at 10plo , playing identical preflop and postflop strategies to each other, all the while maintaining the discipline to not play a single hand at a higher stake. # (

There’s also a group at 50nl, from a similar part of the world as most of the 8 accounts at 25nl and the 3 accounts at 10plo, playing similarly aggressive and strange strats. And still winning, albeit at a more modest rate. “DonKalmar”, “workaholic”, “silentasasin”, and “unfathomable”, all fold to TurnCBets between 30%-34% (6max), have collectively won nearly 10k in less than the 8 months that their accounts have existed. None of these 4 accounts have played a single hand of poker outside of 50nl on ACR. #(

My purpose for this post is simply to deter potential customers from depositing on ACR. I’d like for anyone reading to comment on this for the sake of exposure.
