Pokerbots Making Online Players Sad

Anonymous Coward wrote to mention a Wired article about the rise of Pokerbots in online gaming venues. From the article: "Smart, skilled players are rewarded in the long run, especially online, where there are plenty of beginners who would never have the nerve to sit down at a real table. But WinHoldEm isn't just smart, it's a machine. Set it to run on autopilot and it wins real money while you sleep. Flick on Team mode and you can collude with other humans running WinHoldEm at the table. For years, there has been chatter among online players about the coming poker bot infestation. WinHoldEm is turning those rumors into reality, and that is a serious problem for the online gambling business."

    limit holdem sucks anyway. Play no limit like a real man and you don't gotta worry about silly bots. People aren't smart enough to make good no limit bots yet :)

    Gosh! They are going too far. What's the point of making bots in online poker?! I doubt they don't have enough players.

    It is amazing how much money I have earned. When I start feeling bad for the other players I just hop in my Lotus and the day brightens right up!

    O.K. Mr Anonymous Coword CUNT, would you mind fucking explaining why having a few grammatical errors in your post makes your entire post invalid? Are you too fucking stupid to be able to interpret POOR ENGLISH to understand what he is saying? You are really that fucking stupid? A few spelling errors, a few grammatical errors...WHO THE FUCK CARES, CUNT. You are the fucking cunt who goes into practically any convienience store in the nation and makes the next person in line wait for minutes while you bitch out the illegal immigrant at the cashier station about his poor use of the English Language. Fuck you, cunt. You don't have the right to NOT BE OFFENDED. If you are so fucking offended by bad english, there's more effective ways to go about solving the problem than making yourself a tool and complaining about something that billions and billions of other anal retards like yourself have already complained about, namely .... - - - someone making a spelling mistake or a grammar mistake and you are so fucking stupid you cannot comprehend what they mean because they fucked up so bad!!!! Fucking cunt! Fuck you!!!!!!!!!
