An online poker bot farm where dozens of synced laptops collude at the same table against real players

Bro the other day I played online and got this feeling that I get outplayed somehow. Like fr - I’m not saying I’m a great player but it felt off. I guess you can never know. 😵‍💫

u/rorykoehler 8h ago

People have been doing this for over 30 years now.

I got that feeling in Vegas. After 10 minutes I was convinced 3 of the guys at the table were working with each other and bounced.

•

u/mmmarek02 9h ago

What was the stake? If it was 1-3 u have nothing to be afraid of lmao, no1 cheat there

•

u/LakeEarth 9h ago

I dunno, I was just playing for fun with a couple hundred dollars. And catching 3 people at the table sending eye/hand signals at each other from across the table is not what I'd call fun.

•

u/mmmarek02 9h ago edited 9h ago

Sounds like you are too paranoid. There r countless game running for thousands of dollars all the time. No1 cheats in the small games, all i have to be is sober and i will win 50$/hour. I spend month and a half this summer there by the way

u/mmmarek02 10h ago

Are you studying gto? If not you are years of studying behind all the other players unless u played NL10 or lower

•

u/fate0608 9h ago

Yea I do. But sometimes math isn’t mathing.

•

u/mmmarek02 9h ago

What stakes do u play and how much do u study? Do u have a paid gtoW membership?

•

u/FTG8888 6h ago

You don’t even need to touch a solver til you reach like 10/20 live.

•

u/mmmarek02 6h ago

Depands on where, in the states sure i guess. Except for vegas maybe, there were bunch of gto studying japanese even at 2/5 when i was there in the summer

•

u/FTG8888 5h ago

I’d say theory isn’t that important so early on considering most people don’t even know how to study. Playing based on a few sound heuristics is much more important. Vegas regs are ABC as fuck, 2/5 at the Wynn is the second smallest game so it’s very soft, same with 2/5 anywhere in Vegas. Ofc it’s 1.5k cap so you have relatively ok live players but these regs are not actually very good at all. Yea this probably doesn’t apply outside the US especially in certain euro countries and England.

u/mmmarek02 5h ago

For lowstakes live players yea sure i guess, online even at gg NL25 u have bunch of gto studying pros playing 4-5pros per 6max.

•

u/FTG8888 5h ago

Yea bc ur playing on gg lol against Brazilians and Russians. America games are so soft, 800NL on wptgold is probably similar in skill to 50nl on gg global pool.

u/ash__697 9h ago

What’s a gtoW?

•

u/mmmarek02 9h ago

An app for studying poker gto wizard

•

u/IAMDRPG2 9h ago

Sorry what sites are you seeing people playing gto below nl100 lol

•

u/mmmarek02 9h ago

Gg/coin/ipoker?

•

u/IAMDRPG2 9h ago

Ipoker is full of bots too never played on coin but gg if you don’t play fast fold tables but normal ones you can beat it until nl 50 without know what gto even means .

•

u/mmmarek02 8h ago

i rarely play iPoker international servers, we have our own only for czech/slovak people and im 100% sure there r no bots there (i know most of the pros irl)

•

u/IAMDRPG2 6h ago

I play on .it full of bots on twister maybe cash is different cause decent bot are too expensive to run below a certain limit and also they get exploited by good players

•

u/JibletHunter 8h ago

You might have been playing against my card counting father. 

Family poker nights suck ass.

•

u/dsdvbguutres 9h ago

You can always know if you've heard "HOUSE ALWAYS WIN" before.

•

u/Sdcienfuegos 9h ago

Poker is a zero sum game between players. The house just charges a fee to run it. It’s actually much easier to beat then most people thing because everyone equates Poker to slots or table games

•

u/Endless_road 9h ago

You’re not playing the house

•

u/dsdvbguutres 9h ago

The house is the bot farm in the video

•

u/Endless_road 8h ago

No it isn’t

•

u/fate0608 9h ago

Im okay with the House winning. But if players play together the odds get even smaller for me.
