Hello Pokerbotters,
As many of you know the Cryptologic poker rooms recently upgraded their software, temporarily disabling our poker bots there. This happened about 3 days ago.
Today we posted the upgrade which fixes this, Holdem Bot version 1.5.1. Those of you who have been using our gaming assistance software products for a while now are probably not surprised, unless you are surprised that it took us a whole three days to get the fix out! This is how we roll at Shanky, baby.
There are a couple other Cryptologic changes of note. The bot now plays PL Holdem at the Cryptos, using the pot-sized betting button on the flop and beyond. If you can find this game structure going it’s probably a good bet for the bot. Be sure to set all the NL/PL user options the way you want them first.
The bot will also now play a kamakazi style poker game in the NL games at the Cryptos. This is because it now uses the Max Bet button post flop instead of the Min Bet button, going all-in whenever it makes a post-flop bet. We figured that would be a bit more useful than using the min button, in case you ever run across a NL game there that you want to terrorize. (Please note we still don’t recommend playing NL cash games seriously at the Cryptos).
You can download the new version here:

We are still working on some other great new features that should be out soon in another upgrade, along with an appropriate change in the license fee. Those of you sitting on the fence might want to beat the price increase by making your purchase this week.
Happy Botting,

Greetings Poker Botters,
The small raise issue has been fixed!
We are very happy to announce a very important upgrade for our Holdem Bot. As many of you realize, the only major flaw in the bot’s No Limit and Pot Limit play has been not being able to recognize small raises. That is to say, the bot would sometimes fold to a very small raise after making a large bet because it had no way of knowing whether the raise was small or large.
We just fixed that! Version 1.4.9 has been posted on our site ready for you to download, right now. This version will never fold to a small raise after betting (or raising). You have your choice of what percentage of the bot’s last bet it will always call if raised: 20%, 30%, or 40%. That should be a good menu to cover many different game environments, as you really never want to fold for a raise that is less than 20% of your bet.
Even though this situation only rarely comes up, it can cost you a good pot when it does. So it’s a very important fix for NL/PL games (especially tournaments). As always, all existing license holders get this upgrade for free. You can download it here:

If you haven’t purchased a license yet, we will hold the price steady for a few more days to give you a chance to grab it before the license fee increase. This is the most anticipated upgrade for this product yet, so don’t miss out.
One more thing - this version also fixes a bug with the NL Cap games at Full Tilt where it wasn’t recognizing capped raises preflop. The new version should now be a perfect fit for those games.
Happy botting!

Greetings Casino Bonus Hunters and Botting Enthusiasts,
We are very happy to announce the release of Blackjack Bot version 2.15.0 which supports a great new casino.
Casino Euro plays in Euros and offers a very attractive signup bonus which clears in about 10 hours. The expected Value in USD for clearing this bonus is $146. That basically covers the cost of the Blackjack bot in one night!
Don’t deposit to this casino by Neteller! All other deposit methods only require 10 x the deposit+bonus in wagering requirments, while Neteller deposits require 40 x deposit+bonus. Also, this is a no-download casino that must be played inside Mozilla Firefox, not Internet Explorer. (If you don’t have Firefox just Google it and take two minutes to download it for free.)
We thought you’d be happy going to bed tonight and waking up tommorrow with $146 waiting for you. This casino is also known for generous ongoing monthly reload offers, so expect to do quite well on this one overall.
As always, all existing license holders get the upgrade for free. You can download it here:

If you don’t own a license yet, this is the perfect time to get it because by hitting this casino first you should have your purchase price back in one day! Then you can go get the rest of the $1657 in expected value (from the remaining $2418 in bonus offers that our Blackjack Bot supports) over the next few weeks.
Happy botting!
