Ummm.... so instead of auto folding into the money, you rather have them time out to the money?

The number of bots in heads up tournaments are absolutely **** ridiculous. There always seems to be two bots caught playing each other at the end, folding back and forth for HOURS after everyone else had already finished.

They don't respond to chat, they play and fold in exactly the same manner, they are bots.

Tell me if there's a report function somewhere, and if not for Christ's sake ADD one!

Not responding to chat is 100% meaningless in detecting bots.

What do you mean by they fold in the same manner? As far as I know, you click the fold button to fold. Everyone that plays on this site does it the same way.

They're not very good bots if they fold every hand. If you weren't so persuasive in your argument, I'd assume they were just normal players sitting out.

If I made a bot, I wouldn't make it play freerolls. And if I did make it play freerolls, I'd tell it to raise or call occasionally, so as to either stand a chance of winning, or at least to avoid suspicion from eagle-eyed observers like you.

Welcome to the forum. Have a look around and you will find lots of these posts about people sitting out. They are not bots they are people that aren't there.

At least it was posted in the Beginner Section, n00b.

The real question is this: Should I make this my new sig? If I do, I will only be able to use this one, not any of my two present ones.
Feel free to discuss.

OP: Sorry about hijacking your highly intelligent thread.

Sitting out? No, they're playing, constantly, they're still playing EVEN now.
It's been 2 hours since everyone else had finished their round, and now we're all just gathered in their game commenting about how worthless they are.

They take no time reading the cards, and fold it almost as quickly as they get it. The two continue on like that back and forth, constantly folding. With one side only stopping to bet only once they've received a good hand. Unfortunately though, the chances of both sides having a good hand are rare and the two only manage to actually go to the flop once every 50 games or so.

If you don't think these are bots, you're a retard.

It may be annoying, however, it's a freeroll and people are always going to take it less seriously then real money. Since the buy in is free, everyone is allowed to play there hands which ever way they want. In other words, no there isn't anything that can be done. They made a decision to sit out, so they will be blinded off. May I suggest playing more tables if this is a big problem for you. Good luck.

No one believed Sarah Conner about the bots either. People thought she was crazy when she talked about robots sent back in time to kill her and her unborn son.

I believe you, bro.

just a thought, as BOT's are around unless these guys ive been collecting data on are able to play 16 tables 24 hours a day and only sleep for an hour every 2 weeks, updating prehaps?

if you first created or purcahsed a bot wouldnt you test it at the free roll stage before risking your hard earned cash? and arnt the dubious charicters that might use such programs the sort that stupid or nasty they might deliberatly try and annoy people in this way by entering such tournys
