The latest rage by poker aficionados and programmers is to create and use a poker bot that will automatically play online poker with little or no human interaction
with the ultimate goal of winning money. This recent craze has alarmed both online poker sites and players as the fear of a computer program with the capacity to win online poker will essentially be able to outsmart live thinking players of their hard-earned money and eventually rob the poker sites of quality players afraid to play against so many poker bots.

A recent industry study concluded that 12% of online poker players were apprehensive about or had completely stopped playing online poker in light of the recent poker bot craze. That essentially sends players offline rather than risk their money against these new computer-generated poker bots.

However
there are several ways to beat a poker bot in online poker
and knowing these methods will certainly give the human player back the edge against poker bots. One fact that makes a poker bot a better player is that they lack the human emotion or power of reasoning that a human must use when playing online poker. A poker bot is not apt to go on ’tilt’ or get angry when they are the victims of a bad beat.

In playing online poker
human players are up against two major advantages. One is the computer generated code created by the poker sites to determine shuffles
deals and outcomes of a hand
while the other disadvantage
just as dangerous to your bankroll
is the poker bot
that is pre-programmed with all the statistics and probabilities of the game.

Nevertheless
you can use the computer-generated codes of the poker sites and poker bots against them if you understand how they work. A poker bot is confined to making decisions based solely on the play of the game with regard to its statistical analysis of poker. In other words
a poker bot will only make decisions based on known patterns in the game.

Moreover
the online poker sites
which actively attempt to detect and thwart the efforts of poker bot programmers and users
have implemented a counter-measure to the poker bots
using the same known patterns. By implementing a counter measure to the poker bots
a poker site is able to ensure that a poker bot will not win since the poker bots actions are predictable and confined to a skill-set directly related to statistical odds and probability.

This
as confusing as it may seem
actually works to the advantage of the human player. While the poker site’s software is actively seeking the poker bot patterns and attempting to detect who is a human and who is a computer generated bot script
they also inadvertently implemented a flaw which allows a human player to take advantage of the online poker sites weakness.

In reality
this has resulted in a human player having the ability to not only beat the poker bot
but beat human opponents as well. By following a set pattern that the online poker sites are using
an advantage is created for anyone who is aware of that pattern. This pattern is known as a sequential algorithm and that algorithm dramatically has changed the poker game online to force wins and losses in a set
specific and predictable pattern.

It is not only plausible to beat a poker bot; it is easily accomplished by recognizing the patterns used by online poker sites. These patterns are simple to learn and require little skill by a human player. So the next time you think about playing poker online
consider using the codes and algorithms created by the poker site to your advantage. They are there to prevent the poker bots from winning
but not you!

Folding poker tables add an element of fun to your home poker games that just isn’t there when you play on your kitchen table. Like being in a casino
there is an exciting Vegas feel when you splash the pot on the colorful poker felt and out bluff your competition across the table.

So if your poker games with your friends and family are getting a little stale
look at these wonderful benefits when you have your own poker table.

Folding poker tables make the game more realistic. As stated before
instead of throwing your old army blanket over the dining room table and it bunching up when you try to rake in the chips
a poker table has a felt playing area. Under the felt is a pad that absorbs the sound when your chips hit the table which sounds more authentic then that wooden echo and the chips bouncing all over the place
just like real casino tables.

Folding poker tables have features for comfort and convenience. After long hours with your arms creased on the edge of a hard wooden table
you start to get pretty uncomfortable. Poker tables have cushioned armrests that surround the entire perimeter of the table to rest your arms on. They also have built in beverage holders for every player so you have a place to keep that beer from spilling all over the table.

Folding poker tables can be stored easily. Unlike a billiards table
when your poker game is over these can be folded up and put away
ready for your next game. And setup is just as easy. You are ready to play in a few moments. Poker tables are heavy
but they are still portable. You could fold it up and take it to a friends house if your game rotates.

Folding poker tables come in two common shapes
oval for larger games and octagon for smaller more personal games. For those large tournament games with more than 7 or 8 people
the oval tables can be as long as 7 or 8 feet long and have up to 10 player positions. The octagons are 4 feet across and are for up to 8 players where everyone sits facing each other
and all players can reach the pot.

If you have been putting off getting a folding poker table
I hope this has helped encourage you with the reasons why you really do want one. My games have never been as much fun as when I started using a poker table for my home games.
