A bot infestation

admin — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 12:56:11 +0000

Online poker is not the same anymore because it seems to have been rigged since the coming of poker bots. It is speculated that new players that are coming into the game are winning more money than the players who have been around for years. This is mainly being attributed to the introduction of poker bots into the poker rooms. If only this trend could be stopped, then the game would move back to a level playing ground where only the best can be able to win. You should be very careful when you enroll into a poker site because they could be those poker sites which are out to rip you off. These sites will make you believe that you are winning by asking you to place more bids. When they are sure that you have submitted an amount that seems okay to them, they make you lose and probably even block you from accessing the site again. If you find that a site has employed poker bots, you should try going to other sites that seem to have reasonable rates. It is quite true that online poker can win you a lot of money compared to other types of poker even without using poker bots. The reason why you are bound to make more money than casino poker is because you have the chance to play more hands. There is no way that young kids are going to learn online poker adequately with the presence of poker bots. Initially when someone was being taught how to gamble they used to be taken through various sessions depending on their level of understanding. It will be hard to do the same because bots are not programmed to teach but to play. So, if you know what’s what, join us and reject the bot!

This happened in 1990 when Stu Ungar challenged reigning champion Monsour Matloubi to a heads up match. Matloubi has a 5-4 off suit while Ungar is holding a 10-9 off suit. Pre-flop Ungar raised 1,600 and Matloubi called. The flop is 3-3-7. Ungar bets 6,000 and Matloubi called. The turn is K and both players checked. The river is Q. Matloubi moves all in and Ungar said, “Either you have a 4-5 or a 5-6, I call.” Thus that’s how Ungar won on a high 10 hand.

The Stop and Go

This is done when you are the first to act on the flop. Everyone folded except for one opponent. You believe you can make the person fold on an all in bet. On the flop both of you checks. On the turn he checks and you bet. Checking again on the turn is usually a sign of weakness. Betting on him might make him take it down. You want the person to think you have a strong hand. That’s how to stop and go. Practice it and see how it goes for you.

Dan Harrington’s Squeeze Play

In the 2004 WSOP Main Event, Dan Harrington made his famous Squeeze Play. He is in middle position and rags at hand. Josh Arieh with a K-high minimum raised it and Greg Raymer called it with an A-high. Sensing weak hands, Action Dan re-raised around 60% of his chips. This made both players fold.

As you can see, it doesn’t take a strong hand to be able to trick opponents out of the pot. To make this move work, you must be consistent in showing the table that you’re aggressive and not afraid of the consequences.
