Greetings Fellow Poker Botters,
We are happy to announce the release of Holdem Bot version 1.5.3,
which is going to make most of you very happy. In addition to
fixing various NL/PL bugs in the prior version (that affected both
Full Tilt and Ultimate Bet), we added a couple highly requested new
features.
The most important one is the ability to save your option settings
as a profile. This was a much-needed time saver, as the option
menu is getting so long now that having to go through and change it
for a different game environment was becoming a bit of a chore. You
can read new the instructions for saving profiles on this thread:

The other new feature has to do with the hide button. On the new
version the Hide function will search out available call-back
buttons on F10, then F11, then F12. This should fix those of you
who have not been able to hide the bot due to another program using
F10. It also allows up to three instances of the bot to be hidden
for those of you who keep forgetting to call it back, and also
those of you with large screens insisting on attempting to
multi-table.
As always, all existing license holders can download the new
version free, here:

We are working on a follow-up upgrade with playing improvements
that we hope to have out next week. When we release that we expect
to implement the next price increase in the license fee, so you
probably have about a week left to get it at $129. As a final
reminder, we are also going to raise the price on the Omaha/8 bot
to $89 in the next few days - so this is your final opportunity to
get that one for $79.
That’s it for now. Happy botting!

Greetings Poker Botters,
We are happy to announce the release of Omaha/8 Poker Bot Version 2.2.9, which features:
• Many PL/NL Playing Improvements, including some that use bet size recognition in it’s decisions.
• A new Aggressive Tournament Option, which when set will invoke raising more aggressively with reasonably strong hands on non-threatening boards. Using this new option is a great way to play tournaments and SNG’s.
• A very effective NL Cash Game Strategy has been programmed into this bot now. When it holds aces preflop and there is 1+ call or raise it moves all-in, looking for fish who will call without the other aces. It will also move all-in against one opponent post-flop when holding a two-way hand that the opponent would have to use all four cards in order to scoop.
If you don’t understand how powerful that is, go to twodimes.net and play around with the Omaha Hi-Lo calculator. Give one hand the worst aces hand you can think of and one other opponent the best other O8 hand you can come up with and compare the scoop percentage results against an unknown board. You will see that anybody who calls without the other aces is literally handing you money, and there are definitely players who do that in this game!
With these new features we feel that this poker bot is now a serious threat in any Omaha Hi-Lo game of any structure. As always, all existing license holders get the upgrade for free. You can download it here:

Considering how well this bot plays now, the current $79 price tag is way, way, waaayyy too low. It isn’t staying there for very long. But we will hold it at that price through the weekend to give you one last chance at a true bargain.
Happy botting,

Greetings Casino Bonus Hunters and Botting Enthusiasts.
We are happy to announce a great new casino that our Blackjack Bot now supports, adding $420 in EV to our official figures. King Solomon’s Casino, powered by Playtech, has a huge $1200 bonus for an $800 deposit. The best part is, you don’t need to download a new version as the existing bot already works there.
The wagering requirments are, as you might expect with such a juicy bonus, somewhat large. At 75 x the bonus + deposit it will take you about 15 days to clear (playing 8-10 hour days) even while betting $5 per hand - which is what we recommend doing. The cashout took 5 days but they paid us with no problems and no messing with ID’s or any documents.
Your actual EV is $570 because you will earn $150 in comp points completing the wagering requirments. (We don’t include comp points in our official figures because we attribute that to cover play expenses, but obviously in this case they make a huge difference.) We posted the instructions for this new casino in our forum, here:
http://bonusbots.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1216319371
For newbies we would recommend doing this casino last, after making $1500+ bagging the rest of our supported casino signup bonuses. Then all you have to do is take $800 of your profits and go after this one, which should easily make you $500+ more. This brings the expected value of all the initial signup bonuses for our Blackjack Bot to $2383.
If you don’t own a license yet, you might want to get on that. There is still time to get it for only $149 but my advice is to hurry. Seriously.
Have fun bagging the King Solomon bonus!

Dear Poker Botters,
We just posted a very important upgrade for our Omaha/8 poker bot. Improvements include the following:
• Fixed for the Crypto’s recent software upgrade
• Calls small raises now in PL/NL games, same as our Holdem Bot
• Fold or All In by Players at Table added, same as our Holdem Bot
• Improved Play in PL Games - if a wheel is possible it now gives
up all hands with a high value lower than straight, plus on
non-threatening boards it now plays two-way hands against one
opponent very aggressively (where the opponent would need to use all four cards to beat you in both directions).
Testing of the new version is showing greatly improved results
across all formats of Omaha Hi-Lo Pot Limit games. All existing
license holders can download the new version here:
http://bonusbots.com/o8download.htm
So what’s the warning? This is your last chance to steal this
incredible software program for $68, that’s what. It’s worth way
more than that now, and we will start bumping the price in just a
few days.
There will be another upgrade posted soon which will allow you go after the NL cash games at Full Tilt more effectively, using a
whole new strategy. However the first price increase will go into effect before that upgrade is posted.
Fair warning!
Happy botting,
