online poker cheating software: poker bot pro exposed

Okay, anyone out there interested in some online poker cheating software that will show you exactly how to cheat in poker, make you an online poker cheating gazillionaire? I sure hope not, because we here at Learn to Win Hold'em don't tolerate such offers.

Online poker cheating software is fraudulent on two tiers, too. Besides the fact that it's going to help you cheat...it doesn't even work. The sales campaign itself is a lie, besides the fact that it's trying to get you to buy a program that cheats other people out of honestly earned or won money.

Let's take the case of one Mr. David Glazen, a real bottom-of-the-deck dealer (and bottom feeder) if ever I saw one.

I first came across Mr. Glazen through an online ad that I clicked back in February of 2006. I have to tell you I couldn't help being a Curious George about this amazing ad. Here's part of what he said to "me":

" Poker Bot Pro is a completely unique, totally ingenious, 100% guaranteed, money-making Poker Bot. It's a fully functional, push and go software application that will go completely undetected, and take down pot after pot. For the first time ever YOU can get your hands on what the others only talk about and PRAY do not exist -- an online Poker playing computer program that crushes its human opponents...Again and Again and Again! "

- David Glazen

(That's his capitalization, people, not mine.)

Amazing! I wonder if Chris Ferguson, Phil Ivey, Annie Duke, and all of those other millionaire professional poker players that I've written about here at Learn to Win Hold'em wouldn't love to get their hands on this miraculous program? Surely it would make their jobs far easier, and allow them to really enjoy the good life for once, don't you think?

In fact, Mr. Glazen gives us quite a good idea of just how profitable his amazing online poker bots are. This comes straight from his website's splash page with its sophisticated midway hawker sales pitch:

"If you are averaging less then $100 an hour playing online poker and find yourself spending hours in front of the computer while your bankroll barely grows - then this letter just might be the most important thing you ever read! You must listen to me very carefully and read every single word of this explosive letter. You are about to get the chance to earn a GREAT living from online poker -- 100% GAURANTEED! [sic] STOP giving your money away and start taking control of the tables: You do not need to endure another losing night at the table, watching in disbelief as you get robbed of another pot by bad beats and inferior players. You do not need to struggle in vain anymore -- no more worthless books on poker "theory", no more "unbeatable systems", not one more unprofitable hour playing online poker. You do not need to guess whether your opponent is bluffing or if a check-raise is the right move. Have full confidence that you are always making the right play!"

Easy Street comes to Main Street! According to my 6th grad math calculations, he is promising you that his poker bots will make you in excess of $200,000 a year, assuming you make online poker your full-time job (play 40 hours per week) and give yourself a generous two weeks vacation each year. So, that's probably why Ferguson and co. don't use these bots...they make more money than that for playing an honest game! Ah, but they had to lose first, and even though it's a game it's still hard work for them...while you just push and go the robots from the comfort of your own home!

Sound too good to be true? Good. It is (even if you don't care about the dishonesty part).

See, here's one of my favorite parts of the midway hawker page, where Mr. Glazen asks "me":

"Have you had enough of making silly mistakes that put your money into other people's hands? Are you tired of wasting your valuable time for minuscule (if any) profits? "

- David Glazen

Surely you're joking, Mr. Glazen. That's exactly what you want everyone to do--buy your bots and make you rich. You want other people to put their money into your hands!

Some of these people sure are doing well, according to the "testimonials" section of the splash page...yeah, you know, people who don't have any last names, just a first name and a last initial, people who are insisting that they are happy and profitable from cheating. Names you can trust, you know.

But wait! Here's my other favorite part! Back in February of 2006, down at the bottom of the page, it gave me a P.P.S. saying that Glazen would only continue to offer his bots program through February 20th, 2006, and after that it would all be over! He would not be offering his wham bam deal anymore after that!

Well, today is February 16th, 2009. The website is still there,the same sales pitch is still splashed across its pages...except for the P.P.S. message, which now reads like this:

"P.P.S. Don't forget that I will only release PokerBots untill February 18, 2009 and then they will be gone forever. Not only do you get the Incredible PokerBot Pro but if you act NOW you will also get the FREE bonus. So what are you waiting for? Hurry up and snatch this incredible offer before it is too late. Seriously, offers like this don't come often! "

- David Glazen

Well, I'll be...February 16th, 2009! Either Glazen is very generous, or...he's not making quite enough money from his bots. After all, his ad fails to mention is the fact that many poker sites have simple countermeasures against poker bots. One such countermeasure is the use of CAPTCHA image certification. This has become a universal system used on many sites (even on our site) to stop SPAM bots. It consists of a gif image that contains hard-to-read random text combined with a text-box verification field asking the player to enter the same text into the text box. Of course, he insists that there is nothing "illegal" about using a poker bot that plays "perfect" poker.

Then again, I checked out the website this past August (just to see if he'd taken it down yet), and it said he was only offering the bots program until August 19th of 2008. Amazing!

Poker bots are illegal. Poker software such as Holdem Indicator is not. The bots are illegal because they are nothing other than spamming programs. There is no such thing as playing "perfect" poker, even with a machine, because game elements such as bluffing, aggression, and randomness are too great even for a supercomputer to overcome with mere math. Yet nowhere on his website does Mr. Glazen tell you that you will have to fold 80% of your hands pre-flop if you want to win every time. He implies that you'll never need to fold, or hardly ever.

So, if you thought that maybe you were interested in some online poker cheating software that will show you exactly how to cheat in poker and make a million dollars, try learning how to play the game the right way instead with the best poker software found here at Learn to Win Holdem.
