Poker robots at online Poker rooms - Scary, isn't it?!

Anyone who’s ever played poker in an online casino must wonder if all the players at his table are indeed human. With the advent of online gaming comes the advent of online gaming assistants or players known as robots or ‘bots. Poker robots put you at a distinct disadvantage because they never make a mistake, never get tired and never get angry or emotional when they play. Although robots for poker are illegal on a lot of the top Internet poker sites, the constantly-evolving character of robots for playing poker makes them difficult to detect.

Scary, isn’t it? Imagine: When you sit down at a table in your favorite online poker room, it might be full of poker playing robots whose main aim is to separate you from your money in the shortest possible time. In fact, it’s thought that 1 out of every 12 players in online poker rooms are poker robots for playing the game. Robots for poker playing are a major problem in online casinos.

Robots for poker are formidable opponents because they not only never make a mistake but they also record every hand in a database and they observe your style of play. Eventually poker game robots become powerful, customized tools aimed directly at your bankroll. Although most online sites ban robots, the latest generation of robots for poker games is undetectable.

So, what makes playing poker robots so unbeatable? Poker ‘bots keep track of what is and has been bet. They watch everyone’s hands, playing behavior and playing style. They calculate the odds of getting a certain card while taking into consideration the cards that have already been played. Some poker robots perform up to 1.8 million calculations per second.

The best poker playing robots are customizable not only for your playing style but also for the level of risk you want to take. Some ‘bots even have a semi-auto mode that automatically folds a bad hand but notifies you of a good hand so you can play it. In full automatic mode, a poker-playing robot will play for a time span you determine without any intervention from you.

Poker robots are a mixed blessing because they automate the playing process in a totally impersonal way. Removing the human dimension can never be good for the game.
