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.<\/p>\n<p>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 <strong>multi-table tournaments<\/strong> at both Full Tilt and Ultimate Bet is now complete. With 1.4.7 you can finally play MTT&#8217;s completely unattended to your heart&#8217;s content!<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of MTT&#8217;s, this new version has a new <strong>ALL-IN OR FOLD<\/strong> option which can be used to play a Kill Phil style in tournaments (if you don&#8217;t know what that is just google <em>Kill Phil<\/em>). 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.<\/p>\n<p>Improved playing instructions include more aggressive blind stealing when folded to on the button (which also improves it&#8217;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 <strong>NL CAP games<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n<p>We also added eight new choices on the <strong>option menu<\/strong> 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 <strong>99 through QQ<\/strong>. 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.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, there is a new <strong>Bathroom Break<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t tried version 1.4.7 you haven&#8217;t tried the Shanky Technologies Holdem bot! Download the new version here and give it a whirl:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bonusbots.com\/hedownload.htm\">http:\/\/bonusbots.com\/hedownload.htm<\/a><\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>Happy Botting,<\/p>\n<p>Shanky Technologies Team<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bonusbots.com\/\">www.bonusbots.com<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Greetings poker players and botting enthusiasts, We are extremely pleased to announce a major holdem bot upgrade, version 1.4.7.
