Poker Bots – A threat?

by PokerFilter on August 7, 2006

That’s the theory at least, and since Internet poker was invented, it’s been a concern of a small but loud minority of players.

Some of my friends have experienced even better results. None of them have ever seen any evidence of a bot playing on-line, and a lot of the “I was cheated” stories reek of paranoia and show a fundamental misunderstanding of the standard deviation inherent in poker (i.e. luck).
