For the last few months the high stakes cash games lobby 2k-5k$ nl has been taken by the same group of bot operators from Russia\Ukraine that were banned just a few months ago on WPN and Chico (usernames: bloodywol(f), stongpanyi(d) and now 2btconre(d).)
We, the group of high stakes cash regulars, have sent a dozen of reports to WPN security over the last two month, yet none of them were taken into the consideration.
1. 2btconre(d) has suddenly appeared right after the previous bot stongpanyi(d) got banned. Now he is willing to play any amount of tables against the best regulars in the world at the same time with an unrealistic edge.
2. Based to the analysis of his hand history, he plays a very similar exploitative strategy based on GTO with a fair amount of field exploits taken from millions of hand histories.
3. The way this guy acts in chat is absolutely identical with the previous confirmed bots. ItÂ’s hard to tell whether all their operators are blatantly dumb or it is the same guy, who played on bloodywol(f)\stongpanyi(d) before or they were just following the instructions. If you accuse him in chat being a bot, he would always fire back the same way saying that you are a bot and cheater, no matter who would say that to him (which is a quite stupid strategy to say the least)
4. Just like the previous clique, he only plays on the WPN and never on the large sites that care about the game integrity like pokerstars or partypoker.
5. If you would ask pretty much any regular, who plays the highstakes cash games anyone would confirm that this guy is a bot, playing unrealistically good, without any poker history, crushing the best regulars, never tilting, never getting tired, not caring whether to play 2 tables against one opponent or 8 tables HU against 2-3 different guys. Yet, he is not banned, holding lobby for like 9 hrs daily.
While it is understandable that not all poker sites can afford millions of dollars invested in the modern security and detection tools, you donÂ’t really need any sophisticated software to realize that the player is a bot operator if you apply some basic logic, unless you don't really care as long as the rake is being paid (which is by the way a big misconception, because the presence of bots is eventually going to kill all the action in the lobby because none of the regulars are going to play against machines, turning the site into bot\bumhunters\scripters heaven)
Probably these guys Heads-up statistics are similar to the bots on HUSNGS, basically every point you made is a perfect match.
1. Russian/ukranian players
2. plays with 8-9 regulars for many hours
3. same, GTO based bot with calibration to the current population tendencies
4. only on WPN nowhere to close the same stakes on partypoker/pokerstars
5. every regular can confirm (few of them already confirmed on other thread) that they are bots and they are there close to 24/7
