Online Poker Tool Raises Concerns

Poker bots are raising eyebrows among serious online poker players, as they become concerned they may be matching wits against a computer program that has an unfair advantage. With the surge of poker popularity still growing around the world, concerns are raised not only on the ethical nature of poker bots and similar tools, but about their effect on the character of the game. By reading all visible cards on the table and then running the information through a poker odds calculator, the software will indicate hand strength and cue a player when they should call, check, raise, re-raise, or fold.One such product is called “The Poker Advantage” and is being billed as a poker players best friend. CMM Enterprises, the seller of The Poker Advantage, has no qualms in advertising that the product gives players an “unfair advantage when playing poker.” They go on to describe it as a stealth tool, software that makes it easy to win at online poker, making it “a lot more fun and profitable.”
