Bonus Bots News

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:

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,

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 poker players and botting enthusiasts,

We are extremely pleased to announce a major holdem bot upgrade, version 1.4.7. This new version has a few important fixes plus a lot of new features and improved playing instructions, many of which are the result of our forum members taking the time to post hand examples and suggestions.

The recent Full Tilt software upgrade caused the last version to stop reading the player count and position correctly in 6-max NL and PL games. That is now fixed in this upgrade. Also, the long anticpated fix for table-changes in multi-table tournaments at both Full Tilt and Ultimate Bet is now complete. With 1.4.7 you can finally play MTT’s completely unattended to your heart’s content!

Speaking of MTT’s, this new version has a new ALL-IN OR FOLD option which can be used to play a Kill Phil style in tournaments (if you don’t know what that is just google Kill Phil). Our initial testing of this feature has resulted in an extremely high in-the-money finish percentage, so you might want to give this a try for a while.

Improved playing instructions include more aggressive blind stealing when folded to on the button (which also improves it’s heads up play), being more cautious against a flopped ace when there was a preflop raise and there are 2+ live opponents, and playing more conservative on the river when there is a pair on board with 2-pair hands. In addition the bot now plays the NL CAP games at Full Tilt by the NL instructions instead of the Limit instructions, which has shown to improve results in this game significantly from our early testing.

We also added eight new choices on the option menu for NL/PL play, along with two new ones that are for Limit play. You now have more control of the bot than ever before, including tightening up preflop with pocket pairs 99 through QQ. We also added BELOW TOP PAIR NO KICKER to the list of hands to fold for a post-flop raise on non-paired boards, which should improve 1-table SNG results.

Finally, there is a new Bathroom Break scheduler on the option menu to further mimic human play. We recommend setting it to take a 3-minute break every 90 minutes or so when playing in cash games.

If you haven’t tried version 1.4.7 you haven’t tried the Shanky Technologies Holdem bot! Download the new version here and give it a whirl:

http://bonusbots.com/hedownload.htm

The instructions file and Strategy Guide have also been updated to reflect these changes. As always, all existing license holders get this upgrade for free. If you don’t own a license yet and are planning on purchasing one, you might want to do that today in order to beat the pending price increase.

Happy Botting,
