Bots on Online Poker Sites

To err is human. People tend to make errors in general and take it as a way of life. So when you play on real tables and with champions too, you can rest on the fact that they too will make errors. The champions keep the probability factor in mind, but they too take the odd chances. You have the chance to win there. But how will you win against robots.
Chess analogy
The master computers that are developed to play champion chess players have been loaded with a million probabilities that they remember in less than a second. It becomes very hard to defeat them. Still, chess is not based on luck and good players have a great chance to turn the table. In a game of luck and skill like poker, it is hard to beat robots or 'bots'.
Capitalization
While playing online poker, you don't see the players, only identities. This has been capitalized upon. Many robots have been invented to pay online poker with you. Only don't realize that while playing. They are festooned with probabilities, big pot chances, reading of the game and other points. You may or may not realize when to fold or call, but these robots will use the probable idea and not go for unnecessary calls. You get good cards in less then half of the raked hands. But you take your chances in more than 70 percent of game. That makes a huge margin of win-loss. These robots play only when they have the cards, and the kill you while on the river.
How to understand that robots are present?
Try thinking of how a robot would play the game. There will be professional touch involved. Then look for yourself as to how many players are doing it that way. Chances are that these are robots. They are there to hollow your capital. The house won't lose, as the player's pot will be distributed among them. So you, the humans stand to lose big time.
The error factor
Human players are ruffled by a number of losses and lose the plot. That is where the robots have an edge. They are not emotionally attached to the game. They play it in a practical manner. They know that most often, the cards will not come their way. Even their bluffing is programmed and online, you will never be able to make out. It is much like a random selection of cards on the computer games.
This is how the robots or 'bots' are making and raising online money. There is no way one can put an end to that. This may be called cross-breed cheating but that is how the cookie crumbles.
