Whatever you use bot or not it's good to know how to spot a poker bot. Some clever MTT players use the bot only at the early stages of the tournaments so spotting bots can be a very useful skill for them.
If you are using poker bot you can do preventive measures to not indicate the signs!
Most common sign:
- Players who play too much time and/or on too much tables. Of course some human players have this trait also. Protection: simply don't play too much time! And be realistic!
- Repeated use of certain bet-sizings. Many human do this too but you can protect from it yourself by writing codes which use random commands before make bet decisions in the ppl: "Random <= X" For example:
When Hand = AA
![]() |
spot a poker bot |
When raises = 0 and calls = 0 and Random <= 50 raise 151% force
When raises = 0 and calls = 0 and Random <= 75 raise 126% force
When raises = 0 and calls = 0 100% force force
- Identical timing on each decision: our bot has built-in random protection so don't worry about this!
- Will not respond in chat. It isn't a big sign but may be considered.
- Sit out at foreseeable times, for example when the table get shorthanded. You can prevent this too with proper ppl code.
