My initial trials with my current poker bot were frustrating - there would be good runs of winning then I'd see my profits slipback. Any experienced poker play or mathematician will tell you this is down to 'variance' and it's something we have to live with. Even with 'expert play' by a poker bot you are reliant on some decent cards - or some poor players at the tables! For the latter you can of course sway things in your favour with table selection software - freely available on the net.
In recent weeks I've started trialling the bot at low stakes 'sit and go' tournaments and the results have been far more impressive. To explain for any newcomers, in these tournaments you pay a few dollars to buy in and are given a stack of chips - say $1000 - as play money. It's then a knockout where players are eliminated as they run out of chips and there is prize money paid from the collected players' buy ins to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd places.
The bot consistently wins for me at these touraments with the right settings. In my last ten tournaments it's taken 2 first places, 2 second and 5 3rds. I'm in the money!
As any experienced player will tell you in the early stages many players throw in large amounts of chips when they hold average or poor cards - often outof sheer boredom and wanting to see some action! The poker bot doesn't get bored of course, it just sits there patiently waiting for some cards really worth playing and when it does it has the advantage to win.
I'm still plating at the micro tables during the day but the tournaments really seem the way to go to make poker bot profits.
