I can't help myself. I'm always trying to think up ways to exploit a situation. And I think we have an exploitable situation with this poker bot. I'm not gonna do it myself. I'm pushing 60 years old, secluded in Montana, and enjoy a very high hourly rate off the machines here. I just mosey around everyday and pick the money off. But for you young guns out there still trying to take on the world, this is what I would do if I were you. It comes from an old Johnny Moss story from the fifties.
One day a $400-$800 California Lowball game broke out at the Desert Inn. They were putting lots of money on the table everyday. Guys were coming in with cardboard boxes full of money. Moss wanted to tag the game. But he had a problem. He had never played California Lowball before. What to do? What to do? What to do?
He flew to California and sat in with the Little Old Ladies of Gardena who played $10-20 California Lowball everyday. They were reputed to be the toughest Lowball players in the whole state. Moss sat in the games for a week. He learned every move them little old ladies had. Then he flew back to Vegas and the Desert Inn $400-$800 game. It took him three weeks to break the game.
I've never played head up limit holdem. But I've seen it many times, usually at night, at the Horseshoe. Two guys would get into it and challenge each other to a head up game. The house would deal the game with a discounted rake, usually $2, because they were cranking out many more hands per hour. And it was usually a $20-$40 game.
If I were a young gun today I would use that poker bot to make me battle tough at heads up play. I would play the cheapest game, the .50-$1 game. I would reverse engineer every hand that bot played. The reason that bot wins is because he is causing human beings to make incorrect decisions. I would learn every move that bot has. Once I feel like I've learned enough, that I'm tough enough, I'm gonna march right into the poker rooms of Las Vegas and sit in the ring games. And when the timing is right, I'm gonna rope people into heads up play.
