partypoker continues to roll out their monthly bot-cull report, and this time the figure is 94-bot controlled account closures in the month of April with more than $150,000 heading back to affected players.

Do you go for a walk in the woods knowing that a bear shits in those woods? Maybe if you’re Daniel Dvoress, but if you’re like me, and the most dangerous thing you come across when walking through the woods is a bee, then you don’t go anywhere near the woods full of bear shit.

When I think about bots my crow’s feet kick into life. My thoughts on the matter are shaky. The icy stream for me is the likelihood that the bot makers will decide to become clowns, perfume makers, or head to Vietnam to open up a Pho place.

As long as there is online poker, there will be people wanting to win by less scrupulous means, and this means creating better bots, and more robust cloaking devices. All of which means, the online poker rooms better have the right kind of angel hovering over them, or a top of the range bot detection system.
