Pokerbot Strategies

Pokerbot Strategies

Before you go and get yourself a pokerbot, you should consider what it is you are trying to accomplish. Do you just want a cool toy, or do you really want a money-making machine that grinds out profits for you all day (or all night) long? If it's the latter, you should understand how those profits will be earned and set yourself up correctly in advance.

For some people this means having a dedicated PC for the job. Nowadays you can pick up great computers extremely cheap from eBay or refurb shops and hook them up to a KVM switchbox so that you can run multiple computer boxes from one monitor, keyboard, and mouse. This is a great way to run your pokerbot! To see some killer deals for extra PC's selling on eBay right now click here.

There are various strategies that poker bot users employ to make profits. Here are the more popular:

Bonus Hunting

While most poker rooms offer decent signup bonuses, certain ones offer generous ongoing bonuses. Two good examples would be the Cryptologic Network and the Ongame Network, especially Hollywood Poker. As a matter of fact the Ongame network is absolutely full of OPI bots at the micro and low-limit tables, some of which are grinding out decent monthly profits from the incredible monthly bonus structure. If you want to join in on the action, you can either try to beat the other OPI profiles with your own and run a bot like Poker Android, or better yet just get the Shanky Technologies Bot which destroys those OPI bots (it actually takes previous round betting action into it's decisions). Ultimate Bet is also known for always having a deposit bonus going, but if you don't have an account there yet be advised that the rakeback deal is even better.

Rakeback

This is another way that poker botters grind out steady monthly profits. The better rakeback deals pay upwards of 30%, and some rooms actually allow the rakeback in addition to a signup bonus being cleared (like Absolute Poker and the Cryptologic Network). Using the Shanky bot at Full Tilt, one can take advantage of a juicy 27% rakeback deal that will earn profits significantly higher than the deposit bonus, once it is cleared. At Ultimate Bet you can get a very lucrative 30% rakeback which is way better than their deposit bonuses. If you plan on doing some poker botting, the very first thing you should do is secure a rakeback deal. The best place on the internet to do this is:

Table Hopping

This is the best botting strategy of all, and it can be done with any reasonable-playing bot. The only problem is, it's not a pure botting strategy. You need to check in frequently and move the bot to the best table. So what you are doing is collecting Poker Tracker style data and using it to find the most profitable tables to play at. We have tried this extensively using the Shanky bot at Full Tilt and have had excellent results. It is a perfect strategy for using a dedicated PC via a KVM switch in the daytime.

There are quite a few online poker table-stat software programs that you can use, but in our opinion the best one by far is Poker Usher, below.
