So, here at JazzyBets, we try to provide a wide range of opinions about Pokerbots and Pokerbot calculators in general, and recently Jazzy came across this interesting is pokerbot a scam riff over at the old school gamer blog, Original Nintendo. Now granted, the guy who wrote that riff, likely has a formal name, but for our purposes, in playfully addressing the curiousities of whether internet poker players should use Pokerbots, let’s call him, Super Mario Fishstix.

So Super Mario Fishstix starts off with:

“First of all what exactly is Poker Bot? It is a computer program that runs on popular Poker Room clients to read your hands statistically and it recommends the players action. I would not call it a scam exactly because it does provide good statistical information but I would not advise using it.”

Let’s see, Super Mario Fishstix, almost hit the definition of an ICM Bot right. A computer program that runs concurrently with online poker room clients and reads your hand and other player’s chips statistically and executes the most statistically efficient player’s action to WIN MORE HANDS. Please eat a mushroom and get big, Super Mario Fishstix. He goes on to say that these computer programs do provide good statistical information, which is slang for, Pokerbot calculations are smarter than me.

Super Mario Fishstix continued to enlighten with:

“The best question is. How can a Poker Bot pick up obvious reads and tells if it’s information is based on numbers? It can’t think for itself or make gut decisions which are crucial. There is no automatic poker winning machine I am sorry to say. ”

While Independent Chip Modeling can’t pick up some time-based reads and tells, the ICM Bot can play optimal ranges, so that it is statistically possible to win more all-in’s, more showdowns and more tournaments, hands down. Gut decisions and obvious reads lead to one thing, Super Mario Fishstix. Sitting out early.

A Poker Bot, like ICM Bot, for instance, that uses an algorithm synthesizing four major poker specific probability theories, is simply more accurate, more intelligent and more efficient at winning SnG tournaments, more often, over a defined period of time. Combined with multi-tabling capability and online poker room frequent player rakeback deals, this can all add up to a super double jump to your pocketbook and then some, Mario!

Save fun for your Sunday poker night with buddies Luigi and Goomba in your Zelda garage. ICM Bot never gets tired, never feels emotions like “Why didn’t I go All-in on That”, never gets sidetracked by distractions or anything less than completely, and statistically PERFECT poker playing. Super Mario Fishstix, maybe there are no automatic poker winning machines, but that’s only because you didn’t try using the ICM Bot, every couple hours with your online poker SnG playing. Yep, that’s right. You can turn ICM Bot on or off, on demand, even in the middle of a tournament. Oh snap! Instantaneous Poker Smarts!

Ok, we’ll offer Super Mario Fishstix a golden star for the line “If Poker Bot was used a Statistical Learning Program through Poker Rooms the idea would be more realistic to use.”

And now for the grand finale. Why Super Mario Fishstix is every ICM bot calculator player’s dream.

“To become the greatest at poker a player must practice the game with friends, family, or online...”

On that note, we cleverly round out our ICM Bot versus Super Mario Fishstix showdown. We hope you had a little fun with our all-in pocket rockets at you, and we’re really glad you think Poker bots, probably are not a scam. See you at the tables, FISHSTIX!

Some the biggest winning players in online poker history are gathering together this summer for a match-up with the infamous Polaris 2- the most technologically sophisticated poker Artificial Intelligence (AI) machine in the world. This event is the second edition of the Man vs. Machine Poker Championship and is scheduled to take place during the 2008 Gaming Life Expo at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas July 3-6.

Polaris 2 was created by the University of Alberta’s Computer Poker Research Group (http://poker.cs.ualberta.ca) and is the result of several years of scientific research and thousands of man-hours of development of the Pokerbot logic.

The human players slated to join in the match are professional poker coaches or contributors to the widely recognized online poker training site Stoxpoker.com. Each of the human players participating in the challenge has won millions playing for the highest stakes against some of the best poker players in the world.

Bryce Paradis, head coach at Stoxpoker.com and winner of over 2.5 million dollars at online poker in 2007, added that “Against the current AI in Polaris 2, the average poker player would be completely dominated. The Polaris 2 team has made incredible improvements since the match last year. The most powerful change is that the AI will now learn from and adapt to its opponents’ play as the match progresses. This year’s Man vs. Machine match is going to push our team to their limit.”

In 2007, Polaris 1 competed with professionals Phil “The Unabomber” Laak and Ali Eslami in the city of Vancouver, Canada. The series ended in a very close finish, with a final score of two wins, one loss, and one statistical tie for the human team of Phil and Ali. Each round comprised of a 500 duplicate hand match, wherein the same series of cards was dealt to both players, with each one playing opposite hands in the game with the AI taking the other side. At the end of the match the total number of chips won or lost by each team determined the winner. In an effort to reduce the element of random luck to a minimum, the same format will be used again this year.

The key members of the Stoxpoker.com team are professionals Nick Grudzien, IJay Palansky, as well as Stoxpoker contributor Matt Hawrilenko, all of whom can boast well over $1M in lifetime cash-game limit hold’em winnings. Additional professional players are expected to round out the team in the coming weeks.

This summer, during July 4-9, 2008, the Co-founder of Stoxpoker, an online poker instruction destination, is set to go head-to-head versus Polaris, a super PokerBot, that comprises of an intricate series of poker-playing computer programs created by the scientific wizards at the University of Alberta. This exciting event will be held at the Rio Hotel in Las Vegas during the Gaming Life expo.
