cdddc75 0 Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 Umm. i think a lot of you guys are missing something.. Theres been a few people saying this person won 6 S&G's in a row. valued at over 70K ???That seems very very very strange to me.. I mean. jesus.. did that player fly in from Krypton??.. something is going on there for sureWhat we are missing is the hand histories from these tournaments.Without them, we're all speculating aimlessly.

Royal_Tour 0 Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 A year ago, I downloaded a demo version of a bot (I forget the exact one and I've deleted it now) and let it play for play money at Party Poker. I was new to poker at the time, so I just wanted to see if it worked. I only let it go for 20 minutes or so and all it did was fold preflop or right after the flop, and I got bored and quit. Actually that is the right strategy for LHE, but the stupid betting occurring in a play money limit game confused it a bit - lots and lots of capped bets.Party then started popping up windows advertising events, and that would mess with the screen scraper, so you couldn't just leave it unattended. It would delay sometimes as it was figuring out the cards.The demo version would only work for 24 hours, but with a little creative registry editing, I was able to uninstall and reinstall the next day. But after another 20 minutes, I got bored and quit again.I've never used it for real money. I think I'd rather play the game myself anyway. I know I can make money, and I know I'm not going to be down $1000 after a long unattended session.Peace,OpieGood post and all.. but no offence.. People design these sites, people designed X-box.. they also designed computer aided missiles, and all sorts of insane crap.. I think the version you used, was a "low end" programIn the news last summer was a kid who was making over 6 figures a month from spam., he set up a operation in his garage with a bunch of computers and it was distributing spam to millions of people an hour. Thats just an example of how some people have the determination to make cash wether they care how they get it or not Link to post Share on other sites

rexmundi 0 Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 Where's the kid who sells the tin foil helmets again?We need him right now.........special deal this week. $24.95. and gamboholic has been on 24-7 for the last 5 days. literally. current thinking is that its multiple people shifting in and out on the same account.yeah, gambo could very well just be a team at an apartment or something... people used to say the same thing about auntiororo on party.. "she" used to multi table 30/60, and at point point, after 3 days str8, she was up 40k.. eventually, autieroro responded to questions.. some of the regulars at the 30/60 also said autie was a team, and not one person.. if you look at the leader board on party, gamboholic is always there.. she routinely places in the money in the big special tournies of the day too.. and of course, tears up those steps..

TheIceman05 0 Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 Actually, 39% in the money IS VERY significantly higher than 30%. It's 30% higher.... which is a ****load.Ice Link to post Share on other sites

Sick Daddy 0 Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 I heard a rumor it was Lulan Swanson.What amazes me is everyone refers to Gamboholic_ as a 'she', but claims 'she' is a bot.If you play enough of the top tier of the wsop steps, you are bound to win 6. Link to post Share on other sites

waldo 0 Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 sngs would be the worst place to have a bot, alot of times you are just pushing every crap hand and other times you are just sitting back, it would be very hard to program a successful bot at such a high level Link to post Share on other sites
