Online Poker Forum - This guy has to be a poker bot
Yes he is back. I played with him yesterday. But I could tell by the way he played that he was no longer using a bot. He limped in with AQ, he bluffed all the way with AT high, and he was acting faster than the usual 3 or 4 seconds. After being reported, he probably received a warning, and now he is either no longer botting, or being less obvious about it. Yes he is back. I played with him yesterday.

Anyway, I understand why so many of you are in an uproar over this guy/bot, but you've got to be aware by now that there are many, many bots who play online. As I've posted earlier, I think reading the "robopoker" blog will help clarify much about how bots play and profit from online poker. Here is a small sample:
"I have a virtual army of pokerbots playing right now as I type this. Many of them are sitting at tables with other members of my bot army, but none of them share cards or any other sort of collusion. I could collude on a massive scale with a day's worth of coding, but I don't.
Can someone please explain to me how I, or any other poker bot operator, should somehow be viewed as a less moral poker player than the high-profile guys that literally turn online hold'em into a team sport?"

Also, just 2 days ago there was a press release from Shanky Technologies which included how good their sales were of online poker bots. To read it, follow this link:

I would hope that the sites increase their security then, and go out and buy these bots and then take apart the coding so they can find out what they are up against. I personally dont really fancy playing up against a machine online and losing all my cash - you would be as well giving me a plastic knife and putting me in a cage with the T-1000. Fulltilt needs to ban this player. That they haven't doesn't speak well of the site's ethics. In other words, they see it as more profitable to allow this than to stop it by cancelling the account.
Mooftaz went broke!! I sat at the table with him for several hours, constantly stealing his blinds, and watched as he circled the drain. I think other players at the table had his number as well. It was so sweet to watch him bust out. Well I did read one interesting suggestion of putting up one of those please type this word in that box suggestion, surely you'd figure that if a player has been sat at tables for long periods of time then there's a possibility that this is happening. Maybe bring one up every so often after a lengthy time to ensure they're still there (maybe even stagger them so they're not predictable) Just a suggestion as i'm sure a lot of people would be happier if they weren't playing bots.
