Looking for a poker botting forum? Well who can blame you. Hobbies are made more fun by participating in online forum communities with others who enjoy the same activity. If properly run, these are great places to learn, share your experiences, help others, and stay enthusiastic about the hobby. I participate in local fishing forums and reading the fishing report posts from other members really gets me pumped up about going out again. Plus, I get the scoop on where the fish are biting and what baits and lures are working.
In a similar fashion, an active poker bot forum will motivate you by providing the success stories of others, tip you off to profitable game environments, and even put you on to good profiles and/or ways to further improve your own. Unfortunately, this particular hobby is very limited in scope and therefore the active forums are few and far between. In fact the Bonus Bots support forum is really the only truly active forum, and they don’t allow discussions about competitive products (not that there really are any). Here is the URL:
You cannot register by yourself; you will need to email the admin with a request to join. Be sure to include a desired username and password. This is just to stop the spam-bots, as they will honor any request for registration in our experience. That forum is a tremendous resource and you can learn a lot from lurking there.
The Open Holdem Forum is not as active, but it is alive. Open Holdem is only for geeks, so the discussions are pretty geeky. Also, they delete all accounts that are inactive for 2-3 months. So you really need to be into this platform (and python coding) to stay interested. Good profiles and tips are not openly shared because the open source nature of the project discourages members from creating their own competition. Also, we don’t think many of them are as successful as the Shanky botters.
The first poker bot forum I belonged to was the Poker Bot Plus customer forum. That was a good one. This was the first good OPI bot ever created, to my knowledge (which pretty much makes it the first decent poker bot product ever created). Most of us found it through the Online Holdem Inspector forum. Those were some good times, even if we were not beating the game with our profiles back then. The programmer was the guy who ran the business, and his name was Ron. He was a really good guy and I can’t help but wonder what ever happened to him. If you know him, tell him NewBotCity says hello!
