Bots are ridiculously easy if anyone wanted to put in the crazy amount of time it would take to get millions from them at 600-1500 a pop. No reason to ever bet until you know you have a strong hand on the river and just shove. There is no rhyme or reason to their play that I've found... board can be AKQJ4 with four diamonds and they'll often call a river shove in to a 20 chip pot with a black 82.

true, but the bots also suck out more than would ever happen in real life. There are some things I've learned about the bots to beat them more easily.
Suck outs? I don't know anything about that since there is really no reason to shove until the entire board is out... they aren't calling more often on the flop than they will on the river. Flop a set? No reason to get any chips in there... if the board runs out putting four to a straight or a flush out there wait for the next hand and try again.
There isn't even ever a reason to try to extract any value on any given hand... the only decision I can ever see making for max +EV is whether or not to shove the river. Sure your two pair will occasionally lose to a bigger two pair or your flush will occasionally lose to a bigger flush but you'll never get sucked out on. Even when you occasionally lose the bot won't be holding your chips very long.
That kinda sucks. I was wondering about that. I'd done several tournaments and played a lot, and had a healthy BR, but then it's all POOF?
Oh well...

Dammit, now I have to resist...
odd.... won another bad beat jackpot tonight, sevens full of nines vs sevens full of deuces (against human). Maybe all four hole cards must play to activate? Still wonder what the threshold is, though - had another hand full house vs nut flush that didn't trigger it.

BBJ's are usually Aces full beaten with both hole cards from both players used to make their hands.
With Aces Full the player must usually have at least an Ace in the hole.

It's probably a "two hole cards" requirement - so some big hands will miss at Holdem, because one or both hands are only using one hole card. At Omaha, both hands always use two hole cards, so you'll never see a bad beat get missed.

How did you guys get that much money on the table? Did guys reload about 50 times?
well i started with 70k in my "player bank" or whatever and i think courage started with 40kish. then i busted my 70k entirely to the point where i had to refresh to get 2500 chips for each new buy-in. i think i went through another 15kish that way until i turned it around and busted courage to get to 160kish which i still have now until i go spew it off.

Fun seeing just how quickly a pot-limit pot can get huge!

Man, I'm cheap and tight. I'm afraid to get to a real table with you nuts. I've got mouths to feed

I only had 5 minutes before school started. I saw you guys and wanted to play a couple hands. It would be cool to go for an hour with at least 3 other humans at the table. Sometimes I find Dave playing but it's mostly bots.
Tommy - Regarding this contest, I'd like to request that we possibly move the date/time of the January showdown. My weekend is Friday/Saturday. I'm 7 hours ahead of Eastern time. If we go with the announced time, then I'm unable to play (assuming I stay in the top ten). I understand I'm only one player and a change might screw up others schedules.

I think debating the tournament time might make more sense in December... by then, we'll know who's in the tournament, schedules and jobs might have changed, etc.
But I'm definitely all for accommodating the "out of towners."
spewed 10kish to a couple people then hoovered for a while. harley and i did a 110k flip in which i demonstrated my flipping skills to his astonishment. will be offering flipping lessons at a very affordable rate of 20k e-chips per half hour.
