How to build a poker bot

Not sure if I linked to this before, but I know some of you have not seen this and they already have the second installment up. If you want to get a little scared/worried/overjoyed head over to Coding the Wheel:

Part 1

Part 2

I especially liked the idea of running a ring of collusion bots that check player stats on a shared massive hand history database as well as querying sites like SharkScope and PokerDB.

Oh and I liked the spyware side of the story as well and if you didn't know that then WAKE THE FUCK UP!

Anyway, I have no coding ability or a need to set up a bot, because I actually have a life. And I didn't write any of it, I am just pointing my hordes of readers to it. The first part got probably 1 million hits after it came out, so this is no secret.

Enjoy!

We've worked on one here at http://www.icmbot.com

It's a collaboration project between three programmers and two online poker professionals.

You can try out the demo (it is only just that, a demo) to see how it functions.

The real version (that hasn't been released yet) is profitable, and I can tell you that it is dominating the low-stake and mid-stake games on Pokerstars.

Our next release will be beating the $60 turbo sit & go tournaments
