As long as since the Industrial Revolution the battle of "man versus machine" is an ongoing one on virtually every thinkable field of competition. From simple production work, to the complex game of chess, to the Cadillac of poker No Limit Texas Hold'em - Artificial Intelligence is a force to be reckoned with.
The Saga Continues
We have seen earlier episodes of the poker player vs. pokerbot saga, when Polaris II battled a group of professional poker players in a Limit Hold'em Heads-up setting. That particular round was won by our mechanical friends, yet with the critical note that the game type and setting was as simple as could be.
The Bots are Coming
Almost a year later we took note of the website PokerbotBasics.com, dedicated to find the web's most pokerbot-friendly poker room. The main man behind this initiative, Rob Turner, will hand out a $10,000 reward to the winner of this curious contest.
Interesting Contest
The $10,000 reward probably won't exactly astonish the people at quoted companies as PokerStars and Bwin Poker, but the underlying aim of this contest is certainly noteworthy.
Rob Turner seeks acknowledgement for pokerbots as a legitimate factor in the online poker world, and looks for operators to allow the bots and actually declare their status at the poker tables to make them visible to the flesh-and-blood players.
Keep on Grinding
It's an interesting topic to keep an eye on, and we at CasinoGuide.com will definitely keep you posted on the latest developments surrounding this issue. In the meantime, watch out for them pokerbots, and keep grinding the tables at our top-rated poker rooms.
