This is the only bot however that I would trust to play in an overnight tournament with over 100 players and have some hope of finishing in the money by the morning. But it is never going to win any aesthetic prizes for the main screen. Alternative settings can be downloaded from the excellent support forum to adjust the bot for single and multitable tournaments and different types of cash game, but the default tight aggressive performance of the built-in settings will work until you get used to the system The interface is very basic until you open up a few menus and then you see the wealth of options available to you. The bot plays a reasonable cash game right out of the box using default settings. At the other end of the complexity level is the Holdem Poker Bot produced by Shanky Technologies.The vendors have even produced a poker programming language to make the performance of the bot completely configurable. But my experience is that they don't play well enough to overcome the rake except on the occasional very weak table. In other words they play better than 50 percent of human players out there. At least they play steadily, don't make serious errors and don't have emotions to get in the way.

Their playing style can be tweaked slightly along the axes tight to loose and aggressive to passive, but across the whole range the basic style is tight and weak - waiting for the best hole cards, then folding them at the slightest hint of aggression. They are commonly only able to play cash limit games, so any form of tournament or no-limit game is out of the question. Their screen presence is very basic and their abilities likewise.

Each time you install one you will usually find that only one (different) poker room is supported - my assumption is that this is the poker room sponsoring that particular version, in order to get more users signed up and pick up the rake they generate.
