Bots are real ...
The questions are …
1) How well they play
Lots and lots of debate over this. The general consensus seems to be that they play fairly well, but that a good player should be able to beat them. But that they can clean up at looser low limits, just by playing by-the-book poker.
2) How good the sites are at stopping them
Even more debate about this one. If 10 bots sit at a table and take each other’s money all night, what do the sites care? They make rake no matter who – or what – wins. Still, it seems they do make a legitimate effort to combat bots, as evidence by what kicked off this thread.
