We just posted it. This is a major upgrade. Here are the details in order of importance.
• New Aggressive Tournament Setting
This is a user-controlled bet max setting. There are two sections, a preflop side and post-flop side. The preflop side has 6 hand-lists to choose from.
The post-flop side turns on post-flop shoving when conditions defined by us have been met. The minimum hand is top pair on non-scary boards and gets higher for scarier board states.
This setting works in cash games or tournaments but is overridden if you have Fold or All In invoked. Please note that this setting is the only way you can get all-in preflop with small and medium pocket pairs now (other than the Fold or All In options).
• Multi-tabling up to 3 Tables Now Supported at Some Rooms
Full Tilt 3-tabling is possible for everyone regardless of screen size. The exception is if you have an older or overloaded machine that surges in CPU usage when using the new bot at Full Tilt – in which case see the new OCR option below.
Ultimate Bet 3-tabling is possible for those who have large screens or dual-monitor setup. (The chat window and hole cards cannot be obstructed.) The exception is if you just want to push or shove preflop, then the tables can overlap.
Crypto multi-tabling is not yet supported. However you can play one at crypto and two at Full Tilt simultaneously (and/or Ultimate Bet with a large screen).
Muti-tabling between different poker rooms is supported as well. You can multi-table tournaments and also multi-table different game types at the same time (Limit, No Limit, SNG’s, cash, MTT’s).
• MTT table changing issues have all been fixed. You do not need to enter the new table number or anything in like you do with multi-tabling cash games now. The old Close Old Poker Window option setting is gone as it is no longer needed.
• Opening multiple instances of the bot no longer allowed – if you try that you will only call up the existing windows to the front.
• New Use OCR at Full Tilt option for the few people who are using older and/or overloaded computers that cannot handle running the new bot at Full Tilt, resulting in a CPU surge to 100%. If you experience this or have crashing issues at Full Tilt you should use this option which goes back to the old way of reading cards. You cannot multi-table with this option checked however.
• Sitout option will not work in tournaments now
• More reliable technology for recognizing buttons. All table reading errors should be non-existent now.
I highly recommend reading the updated instructions carefully. The Strategy Guide .pdf file has also been updated with additional information about the new features.

This version is a quick fix for some of the bugs discovered in 1.6.0 which is using a new information-reading technology. We didn’t get everything on our plate programmed in quite yet, but wanted to get this out so everyone can get back to playing MTT’s and clearing their bonus without having any crashing problems.
• Full Tilt sitout function bug should be fixed
• Bet/raise size recognition bug for bets and raises $1,000+ (that include a comma) is fixed
• Crashing issues should be fixed
• MTT table changing bug is fixed
• Max bet size to fold good (but not great) hands for raised
• Adjustments to preflop pocket pair play implemented
We are still working on the new aggressive tournament setting and catching up with the last Interpoker software upgrade. In the meantime you can download version 1.6.1 (which is a critical upgrade) here:

Dear Poker Botters,
We just posted a very important upgrade for our popular Holdem Poker Bot. Version 1.6.0 is up now; here is what’s new:
• Many post-flop playing improvements based on bet-size recognition and customer feedback in our forum
• Reduced preflop limping in early positions of 9/10 player tables in NL/PL
• New card-reading technology implemented that should eliminate any errors reading cards or player actions because the table or chat window became temporarily obstructed
As always, all existing license holders get the upgrade for free. You can download it here:

**Please note that windows 98 and Windows 2000 are not yet supported by this upgrade**
Happy poker botting,

Greetings Poker Botters,
We just posted an important upgrade for the Omaha High-Low Poker Bot. A bug was discovered in the code of the last version which caused the bot to not recognize when it had the nut flush after an opponent made a large bet (in PL/NL games). That has now been fixed.
In addition, we added a new user option that allows you to control some of the post-flop folding decisions based on bet size. This setting is for cash games mostly and is now on the option menu, titled:
FOLD NON NUT HANDS POST FLOP WHEN BET SIZE IS MORE THAN…
The bet size is measured by big blind size and the default is 25 big blinds. We recommend turning that higher for lower stakes games. Be aware that some very strong non-nut high hands are still counted as nut hands by the bot, specifically:
• Second best flush if the best flush is a straight flush which requires no more than two cards to complete
• Best two or three full houses (depending on the situation) when a pair is on board, being as the best hand is technically four of a kind
You can download version 2.3.3 here:

This upgrade incorporates two new features:
• Post-flop Bet Size Recognition which allows it to make smart folds in cash games for large bets when holding non-nut hands.
• New card-reading technology which reduces (and hopefully eliminates) errors in reading cards, even if the poker chat window becomes temporarily obstructed.
Because of these changes it is now recommended to use the Aggressive Tournament Setting for all poker tournaments played with this bot.
You can download the upgrade now, here:

Have fun.
