[@halamadrid9776]

[@mobiuspoker]

Thanks for your support!

[@MM-rw2xq]

Keep it up man, so far so good.

[@mobiuspoker]

Thanks!

[@Darealmclovin47]

It’s so crazy that you brought up the idea that the bots are coming from the site itself organically. Because I’ve had the same thought for a while based of my own experiences.

[@Darealmclovin47]

I knew my intuition was right after I stopped playing on ignition and going to clubgg and crushing 15-20 bbs in the same stakes

[@orion7881]

@@Darealmclovin47 does bovada also have bots?

[@nickg408]

Thanks for this. Will this be published to the Apple Podcasts app too?

[@mobiuspoker]

Yes, I'm working on getting it on there too!

[@nickg408]

@@mobiuspoker Awesome I'll sub when it gets on there. Thanks!

[@normanatm7]

Thanks Patrick for blowing the whistle. You are indeed a 💎 in poker community.

[@cuzza4321]

I have seen a failed bot too. Exact same, it kept timing out and re joining but never taking action. Always exact same time before sitting. Was a slow but free 100bb 😂

[@ghjk5827]

I‘m so happy that you are back. Please, talk about: 1) What your current opinion about current zoom lower stakes at pokerstars, as nl25-nl100. In other words: what kind of realistic winrate a normal winner regular should expect on these? 2) What is your current opinion about GGpoker and KKpoker? Ty!

He back to market his new product.

[@DHpoker27]

listened to this yesterday on Spotify - keep them coming , ? for u - do u think overall its more CG related - n some MTTs or more evenly - ( i picture playing 12 tables, 800-1K / month MTTs wouldnt really have a negative effect - compared to 1/2 tables CG ? any thoughts on this ( btw great job with the MTT stat checker for H2N )

[@mobiuspoker]

I don't know anyone who plays MTTs on Ignition so I can't say, but on ACR the bots were, if anything, even more prevalent in MTTs than in cash.

[@jeffshackleford3152]

I will say this. I have no idea if Ignition is running a bot farm, I am a breakeven player and I only play 25z, i am not a mass volume grinder. I have not been banned on Ignition, yet. I will say that there has been a strange ( maybe not the right word), set of happenings recently to me, where it seems like, whether bots or not, that the games have shifted quite significantly recently.

[@toddf.packer9394]

Almost as if some "players" can see the cards huh?

[@RonEngrassia]

​@toddf.packer9394 I have had the same thoughts recently playin 1/2 nl. The last hand I played on ignition I raised preflop with AK. I got 2 callers. Flop came QJ7 rainbow. I check they bet half pot. Other player folds I call. Turn came a 9. I bet pretty big with plans of blasting it in on the river to move them off the hand on the river. River comes a 4. Pot is pretty big by this point. I miss all my draws obviously but I think I can move them off if they got here with something like 8s. I don't feel like they have a big pair because they would have bet differently if they had a Q or two pair. Anyways I overbet shove and get snap called with 5 4 off suit. Like, really? Nobody does this. Ever. And this is following a string of things like this happening that I feel goes beyond variance or just bad play on my part. I'm not the best poker player in the world, not even close, but in live poker I am up tens of thousands of dollars and have never once been able to even come close to being a winning poker player on ignition. And ignition is the only site I am actually able to play on due to my location.

[@smoothbrainacademy8401]

It's because they literally don't care if poker dies. It's such a small part of their revenue. And as you can see plenty of people continue to play while complaining.

[@Milehiii]

Seen bots on their sit n gos recently

[@hermano5236]

How does this effect the zoom games?

[@mobiuspoker]

Same situation in Zone as far as I know.

[@DocloveJS]

Talk to me about how this impacts tournaments. I don't play cash on there. I deposited $500 3 weeks ago and ran it up to $25k. So all good.. BUT, it is interesting when I look at my EV/BB/100 it is negative on that site over these past 3 weeks--while I'm a massive EV/BB/100 winner on all other sites. So this does have me curious.

[@glix1390]

How do you study for mtts?

[@orion7881]

goddamn 25k

[@chullen]

Are you able to share how you did this? I’m losing lots on their jackpot sit and gos, I think I’m playing against bots

[@Omnipotentification]

Why don't you design and run a poker bot on Ignition and see what happens? If it gets banned right away at least we'll know 3rd party bots aren't allowed.

[@LilGambling]

This is all of online poker. The odds have never been more stacked.

[@michaelb4090]

lol no it isn’t have you played more than one site? Players are anonymous on ignition but problem off the bat and they let bots run ramp it

[@lukebruce5234]

The guy could have easily exposed the entire site if he made it public. The fact that he didn't yet didn't keep it to himself either proves he is full of shit.

[@ltsjack]

This is very thin foil not gonna lie. Guy got banned and claims he was beating the bots so clearly igniting is running the bot farm

[@toddf.packer9394]

Customer service will tell you there is no RNG in poker. It's predetermined outcomes and on top of the bots, some have admin access. Why do you think you see so many 5 bet pots being called down to river with 84o and hitting their gut shots?
