Bodog Poker: The Coven for Casual Players

Imagine a poker room where everyone has a mask on. No usernames, no long-term statistics, and you can’t keep track of your opponents from one game to the next. Each time you sit down, it’s a new game and a fresh slate. This sounds like some scene out of a sci-fi movie, but it’s the reality at Bodog Poker. As a major player in the PaiWangLuo Network – which is definitely the leader in the North American market – Bodog didn’t just create a poker room – it created a fortress. It was designed to shield casual players from serious pros at all costs. To anyone trying to abuse weaknesses to exploit for profit, this room is a mysterious black box. For advanced A.I. it is a well designed petri dish.

The Casual Player Model: A Brilliant Idea

In order to truly understand what Bodog is up to, one must understand their plan. The team behind the entire network came to the realization that the number one threat to the health of a poker environment is those dirty pros who are using programs to take advantage of casual players and all but evaporate their bankroll. So what did they do? It was bold and simply, they made it impossible to collect data.

The major differences at Bodog Poker are:

• Completely Anonymous Tables: This is the single most important feature. You are only identified by a number (Player 1, Player 2, etc.) and this number changes every time you play.
• No Third-Party Software: That complete anonymity makes HUD and tracker data totally useless and expressly prohibited.
• No Table Selection: You simply can’t search for weak players. You select a stake, and the software finds you a table.
• Limited Multi-Tabling: There is a limit on the number of tables you can play (usually four in cash games) to keep those mass grinders in line.

All of this functions effectively as a large filter. It is intended to be very restrictive on traditional, data-minded pros. The result? The grinders leave and the recs—the gamblers and recreationals that are the action—stay. Therefore, with a mass of people playing less than optimal ranges, the player pool and competition is some of the softest and most profitable at Bodog.

AIs Ability in Anonymous Play

In the beginning, this unknown dimension may seem like a nightmare for any stat reliant player. But this is where the profound difference between humans and elite AIs will provide an actual advantage. It is hard for a human pro to roll without their HUD and historical data, while an AI can thrive on it.

A premium Bodog poker bot does not have to remember who you were yesterday, because it plays in a way that would be impossible for humans to match in their level of ‘thinking in the moment. ‘

• Perfect session memory: While it cannot track a player for weeks, it will experience an instinctual recall of each hand that was played within the current session.. Within a handful of hands it can identify who the loose players are, the maniacs, and the calling stations and begin to form a winning strategy specifically for them. Unlike humans who can forget and have biases, the AI has perfect memory.
• GTO as a Baseline: The main strategy for the AI is based on GTO play. In an environment where every body else is making gigantic mistakes, playing GTO is like using a calculator while everyone else is just guessing on a math exam.
• Unbothered by Chaos: Bodog players are known to be very random with their style of playing. The AI, however, won’t become unhinged. The AI stays calm, never tilts, and plays the numbers.

The protective walls Bodog has put in place to keep the fish protected from human sharks provide the optimal environment for top of the line AIs with almost an unfair advantage.

The Security Issue: The Turing Test

Bodog’s integrity team is not searching for the same indicators which other sites look for. It’s not looking just for number counting, or patterns in GTO play which appear odd. Bodog’s integrity team is effectively recreating the Turing Test: is this player human or robot? It checks unusual times, exceptionally long sessions and checks for other types of patterns that don’t feel human.

So, successful bot play here is more than just a smart calculator. It also has to be a good actor, too. A good bot needs to have myriad complexities, randomizations that feel human, smart session management, and a subtle decision-making process. Although challenging, this can all be done using a custom-built process.

A Unique Opportunity for a Unique Fortress

We have undertaken an in-depth look at Bodog and the PaiWangLuo Network. An enormous opportunity exists here, but it is both fragile and unique. A bot made public would leave a hockey stick mark and could be a significant strategic error.

Therefore, we have decided not to develop a public bot for the Bodog/PaiWangLuo Network. Rather, we have created a Once in a Lifetime opportunity for one lucky partner to commission a unique key to this fortress. We will develop a private, custom-built bot exclusively for the Bodog Network. This will be solely your tool, built for only you, in complete privacy. You will have a monopoly in the safest and most profitable recreational player landscape in the world. If you’re looking to invest in a custom solution to this very unique challenge, we are open to a private discussion.
