Online Poker Bots

[Azaroth]

Ohhh, I've heard quite a bit about it lately. More people are starting to use them all of the time.

But even if it can be argued poker bots aren't mainstream, MMORPG bots sure as fuck are.

Hey, as long as good old shit ass luck exists, I'm not worried about bots. I logged on last night with $5 on a .10/.20 limit table cause I didn't feel like concentrating.

Had K7os and hit a K on the flop, so I called a few guys who were betting. Turn gave me three cards suited on the board matching my K, so I stayed in on a raise or two - dumb play since i knew the two Ks wouldn't stand up, but hey, I wasn't playing seriously. River hit my K high flush. Ended up with a capped out bet against two other guys. Went from $3.80 to $13.50 in one pot.

As soon as it was clear that I'd one the pot with a runner runner flush, half the table logged off. I thought it was funny - .10/.20 was invented for silly play poker.

Ok, this had nothing to do with poker bots, but I felt like talking about it anyways.

My latest poker anecdote (from yesterday)-

11 players left in my local cardroom's anniversary tournament- ($200+15, 99 players start- pays the final table of 10, with a first prize of $10,000). After a couple of tough hands (including mucking a small full house with 66 on a board of AAA95 to a bet for all my chips), I am one of the shortest stacks. Blinds are $400/$800, and I post the big blind, leaving me with $1400 or so. One limper, 4 folds to me; I look down and see 9c 6c. I check, and we see a flop.

Td Tc 7c. I have a gutshot straight flush draw. Now or never, I figure, and shove my meager pile of chips into the middle. The limper calls, and turns over AT. Turn brings the 5c, making my flush. Elation!

River is an A, filling up my opponent and busting me out on the fucking bubble. ARRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH.

I didn't want to start a new thread just for this tiny question, so I figured I'd post it in this thread.

A buddy and I were playing play money rooms on poker stars a couple nights ago. At some point I managed to clean house on a couple hands and go from 1K to 14K. Figured it would be fun to play for real money and see if my luck stuck with me. I really don't feel like pumping out a minimum of $25, but I hear you can cash out whatever you want with NetTeller. My question is: Will they charge me a fee if I add $25 and cash out $15-$20? Do they take a cut when you cash out?

I think there is a minimum amount to cash out, unless perhaps your account balance is below the minimum to begin with. Email support@pokerstars.com - their support staff is top notch and will be glad to help you out with any questions or concerns you may have.

Wow, what an unmitigated cocksmoker. I like his justification of sticking it to the "hyporcisy" of the online poker sites, while the people he's really taking the money from are other players. Since the house gets a take of all the pots no matter who wins, the house makes money, the cocksmoker running the bot makes money, and the honest poker player gets it from both ends.

Kind of like MMOG players.
