70 PetHelpful Dogs Breeds Wolfdogs The Hybrid Some State Laws Restrict Updated on February 28 2017 Don A Hoglund Don has worked in newspaper writing business writing and technical writing Wolfdogs or wolfdog hybrids are very controversial and laws and regulations concerning them vary from place to place In some places such as Czechoslovakia the wolfdog is recognized as a breed and registered as one by the kennel club It also has standards like other breeds However about forty states in the United States ban the owning and breeding of wolf hybrids In my own state of Wisconsin the regulations even vary from one county to another What Is a Wolfdog Generally it is a hybrid of a wolf with a domestic canine usually with specific breeds such as German Shepherds Malamutes or Siberian Huskies Usually they are deliberately bred Although there are some accidental breeding between wolves and domestic dogs they are not usually inclined to mix They are considered exotic pets Some Historical Facts About Wolfdogs There is some evidence that prehistoric wolfdogs date back 10000 years or more in the Americas In Europe there is fossil evidence that suggests they were used for hunting mammoths Animals in the artwork of the Teotihuacan civilization in Mexicos Central Valley may have also been wolfdogs Fossil evidence of them was found in 2010 and suggests that they were kept by the warrior class In Great Britain the first known wolf hybrid appeared around 1766 when a male wolf mated with a Pomeranian who ended up having a litter of nine pups Occasionally English noblemen purchased wolfdogs as scientific curiosities They were also popular in British menageries and zoo exhibits There appears to have been no intentional breeding until the 1920s when the Saarlooswolfhond was created by a Dutch breeder They were used as experimental attack dogs in South Africa during apartheid These hybrids were bred from German Shepherds and wolves from the Urals The first of these appeared in 1978 He was a male named Jungle who remained in service until 1989 Wolfdog Breeds According to Wikipedia there are at least seven breeds of wolfdog hybridization Four are deliberate crosses with German Shepherds Saarlooswolfhond This breed was a result of the first attempt at sustained crossing of wolves with dogs to prevent distemper The effort failed but the FCI and Dutch Kennel Club recognize the breed Czechoslovakian Wolfdog Created in the 1950s Lupo Accepted by Italian Kennel Club Kunming Wolfdog A Chinese breed used for military purposes Japanese Wolfdog Might be a descendent of the extinct Japanese wolf The Czechoslovakian Wolfdog In 1955 Czechoslovakia started with the breeding of 48 workingline German Shepherds with five Eurasian wolves According to Wikipedia the aim was to create a wolfdog hybrid with the temperament pack mentality and trainability of the German Shepherd and the strength physical build and stamina or the Eurasian wolf The breed was developed for use by the border patrol in Czechoslovakia Later they were used in search and rescue schutzhund tracking herding agility obedience and drafting In 1982 the dog was officially recognized as a national breed in Czechoslovakia In 2002 the breed was recognized in the UK There doesnt seem to be a standard for wolfdog hybrids in the US They are typically a cross between a pure wolf and a dog or a wolf hybrid The dogs are usually Malamutes Huskies or German Shepherds The hybrids tend to result in dogs that are bigger than wolves Temperament Those who are prowolfdog tend to claim the animals are as docile as domestic breeds whereas most antiwolfdog folks say they are vicious and untrainable Because these hybrids take on generic mixtures of wolves and dogs their physical and behavioral characteristics cant be accurately predicted According to CDC and the Humane Society of the United States the wolfdog stands at number six among animals with the highest number of attack fatalities in the US But the aggressiveness varies from animal to animal Common sense would indicate that they need special training and probably a special trainer The website wolfcoutrynet does not recommend the average person own wolfdogs But these animals are great for those who have the knowledge and inclination to keep and train them Training a Wolfdog Wolfcountrynet also alludes to the position of alpha While a dog can be mastered even a stubborn one a wolfdog will always try to test the master for dominance The owner has to show superiority but it can lead to a constant battle The same seems to be true to some extent with wolflike breeds such as Huskies although maybe not to the same degree The main thing to keep in mind is that you should make an informed decision if you are considering raising a wolfdog Aside from local laws the owner must have enough space and dedication and know the necessary diet and availability of medical care Ask whether your vet can and is willing to treat a wolfdog According to WolfCoutry they have special needs physical and mental Many hybrids end up being put down because it is very difficult to place them with new owners The website recommends a Malamute or Husky for people who want something that resembles a wolf People have to understand that a wolfdog is still part wild it will never be the docile family pet WolfCountry Wolfdogs Health Wolfdogs according to Wikipedia are affected by fewer inherited diseases than most breeds Some established breeds were bred specifically to improve the health and vigor of working dogs The USDA has not approved rabies vaccines to be used on wolfdogs Owners and breeders claim that this is a political attempt to discourage wolfdog ownership Wisconsin When I moved to Wisconsin I had a German ShepherdSiberian Husky mix and presently I have a Siberian Husky with an unknown mix In both cases the people have often told us they look to be part wolf I have met owners in town who have wolfdogs One day I was walking my dog and a woman driving by stopped me to inquire if it was part wolf It turned out her dog was a wolf hybrid Another case was someone I used to run across when walking my pup His dog looked like a Husky One day I was walking by his house and one of his neighbors told me that the man had died The neighbor wanted to know what to do about the dog and later told me that he decided to get a wolfdog Some counties in Wisconsin ban wolf hybrids eg LaCrosse county Others do not According to an article in the Lacrosse Tribune the wolf hybrids being neither wolf nor dog dont fit the legal categories making it difficult for animal control authorities to know how to deal with them There are also no state laws to regulate them Since they are not dogs they dont fall under regulations for dogs and they dont fit into the regulations for wolves According to the article the Humane Society wants to totally ban wolfdogs Sources Czechoslovakian Wolfdog Czechoslovakian Wolfdog breed information history standard and photo gallery featuring 20 individuals representative of this rare European breed News Artcle State county officials look to regulate wolfdog hybrids 2011 Don A Hoglund

Why is my Nikon D750 not autofocusing 0 favorite I bought a brand new Nikon D750 Im upgrading from a D3100 big jump I know Ive shot in manual mode and alternated between auto focus and manual focus depending on the subject I thought I wasnt an idiot or totally in the dark though I knew I had a lot to learn hence the upgrade But for some reason I can not change my focus mode Im using the button next to the AFManual switch From the first time I turned it on it hasnt autofocused The lens Im using is the AFS Nikkor 50mm f18G nikon autofocus afs backbuttonautofocus improve this question edited Jan 15 17 at 132 scottbb 172k 7 50 84 asked Jan 14 17 at 315 HMS 1 1 1 1 There is also another AF or Manual switch on the lens itself it is marked MA or M and M there also disables AF mode Put it to MA Many lenses have that and the newer 50mm f18 has it too It is the first thing to check the probability is high that is the only issue Either of the two switches will force Manual mode Both have to allow AF WayneF Jan 14 17 at 343 HMS Is that the only lens you have used Michael Clark Jan 15 17 at 152 HMS When you say It hasnt autofocused does that mean the lens is never moving the focus elements That the viewfinder isnt confirming focus or displaying AF points That the lens is hunting but never achieving focus etc Michael Clark Jan 15 17 at 210 OP solved his or her problem I had one random setting forcing manual Very strange figured it out though Thanks thomasrutter Jan 18 17 at 055 same problem Bought 2 Nikon D750 in a 6 months period and both have the same issue with the focus Never dropped the cameras have used many lenses even got a new 70200 28 thinking the lens was the issueseems some how like the sensor is not aligned correctly a headshot of 2 people standing at the exact same distance may result in one being focused and the other out of focus Have tried the manual focus adjustment back focusfront focus nothing helped Had them checked at 2 authorized service centers in Miami and NYC and no issues found Had Elnathan Mar 13 at 2306 add a comment 2 Answers active votes up vote 1 down vote There are a few different possibilities that could be preventing the camera from autofocusing correctly A lot depends on exactly how you are trying to tell the camera to initiate AF All page number references below refer to the Nikon D750 Users Manual If the switch on the lens is set to M the camera will not AF If the switch on the camera body just below the lens release button is set to M the camera will not AF p120 If you are fully pressing the shutter button without prefocusing first in either AFC or AFS mode and AFC Priority Selection or AFS Priority Selection respectively are set to Release the camera will go ahead and take the shot without first confirming focus p326 It may well be trying to AF but the results may be leading you to believe it is not If you are attempting to initiate AF using the AELAFL button and the custom setting f4 is set to AE lock only or AE lock hold AF will not be initiated p361 If you are attempting to initiate AF using the shutter button but custom setting f4 Assign AELAFL button is set to AFON the shutter button can not be used to initiate AF Use the AELAFL button instead p362 If the Focus Selector Lock control is set to Lock p127 with no focus point selected the camera might not attempt to AF Note that when using AF lenses that are not AFS lenses the AFM switch on the camera body just below the lens release should not be set to AF if the lens is set to M Using the camera in such a situation can damage either the lens or the camera The warning is on page 132 of the Nikon D750 Users Manual improve this answer edited Jan 16 17 at 015 answered Jan 15 17 at 750 Michael Clark 120k 7 136 335 AFCAFS Priority Selection only controls whether or not a shot is taken not if AF is initiated Focus Selector Lock only prevents the multi selector from changing the active focus point it cant be that no point is selected K Minkov Jan 15 17 at 2204 KamenMinkov Thanks for the finer points Im not saying the camera doesnt try to AF when in release priority Just that the resulting image may not be in focus which may lead the user to think the camera isnt autofocusing Michael Clark Jan 16 17 at 014 KamenMinkov The FSL issue is a guess that might only present itself if it is locked right out of the box before any AF point has ever been selected in the history of the camera The user did say the camera was brand new Thus the use of the word might in the phrase might not attempt to AF Michael Clark Jan 16 17 at 018 add a comment up vote 0 down vote There are issues with the D750 body With both my 24120 lens and 50 mm fixed lens autofocus would sometimes work and then sometimes not work Reattaching the lens mostly fixes the issue till you switch lenses and then it MAY happen again I returned my camera body due to this issue I found that if I slowly attach my lens into the body and press firmly on the lens as I am testing it helps improve this answer answered May 20 at 1423 Somnath Choudhuri 1 add a comment Not the answer youre looking for Browse other questions tagged nikon autofocus afs

Earth Earth Sciences July 12 2018 In 30 years the Antarctic Treaty becomes modifiable and the fate of a continent could hang in the balance Credit shutterstock Three decades from now several crucial elements of the Antarctic Treaty will come up for possible renewal plunging the future of the continent into uncertainty For six decades the treaty has been the cornerstone of governance for our most southerly harshest and most pristine continent It has fostered scientific research promoted international cooperation ensured nonmilitarisation suspended territorial claims and strengthened environmental protections Its guardians are the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Parties ATCPs chief among them the US UK Australia New Zealand Russia Norway Germany Chile and Argentina Out in the field a new generation of robots and drones are peering under ice shelves probing the ocean depths and monitoring glaciers ushering in the age of the Smart Antarctic The ice sheets arent exactly flourishing the Antarctic continent has lost three trillion tonnes of the stuff since 1992 but scientific research is thriving For many polar researcher this is a reason for optimism but in the political arena the horizon is darkening As it stands the Antarctic Treaty acts as a safeguard for Antarctic science an international bulwark against commercial or political interference But as the years tick by the treaty and the cooperation that accompanies it could begin to quietly fracture or even disintegrate completely Riches under the ice In 1998 seven years after it was first signed into the treaty the Protocol on Environmental Protection came into effect Its purpose was to enhance protection of the Antarctic environment and dependent and associated ecosytems a noble if poorly defined pledge that has proven difficult to uphold But tucked away among the acronyms and technical terminology Article Seven of the Protocol consisted of a single important sentence easily missed by the careless reader any activity relating to mineral resources other than scientific research shall be prohibited Simple and to the point Antarcticas natural resources whatever they may be are to remain pristine and untouched At least for now Article 25 carries a caveat If after the expiration of 50 years it reads any of the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Parties so requests a conference shall be held as soon as practicable to review the operation of this Protocol In other words 30 years from now in 2048 the ATCPs could reject antimining regulation and start stripping Antarctica of its mineral resources diverting the continent towards a radically different future Many consider this undesirable unworkable and unthinkable but longtime observers know that the uncharted waters of polar politics can constantly surprise Research bases like this one are the closest thing Antarctica has to settlement Credit shutterstock A changing climate In fact the unthinkable has already been thought and halfacted upon In the 1980s the ATCPs drew up an international mining framework called the Convention on the Regulation of Antarctic Resource Activities which sought to regulate any possible future resource extraction It established property rights and gave special privileges to seven claimant states including the UK The framework would not function today China and India would certainly demand farreaching revisions but in the 1980s it was only when France and Australia pulled out and started championing the current protocols that the convention was shelved Indeed a number of states might now have issues with the treaty Much of the governance set down by the Antarctic Treaty still dates from when it was first negotiated in the late 1950s in a very different political technological legal and environmental climate It only involved 12 states and was concluded long before China became a polar superpower The Antarctic ice sheets were considered stable and there was still a great deal of mystery surrounding what lay beneath them There was little to no tourism now its the biggest industry operating in Antarctica Fast forward to 2048 the Antarctic is melting plastics are found in the ice and foreign species including yet more humans dot the continent Drones and other automated vehicles are routinely used and the polar summer is a hive of activity with thousands of tourists mobbing every penguin colony Commercial fishing thrives in the Southern Ocean and permanent settlements spring up on the Antarctic peninsula and surrounding islands The profits available from biological harvesting have made the extremes of Antarctic living a reality Indeed major polar operators such as China and the US only continue to support the mining ban because their energy needs can be satisfied elsewhere At present ACTPs are focusing on improving cold weather technology and gaining confidence in Antarctic conditions but it might not be long until they have the capability and incentive to do more China is already using underwater vehicles to search for gas hydrates and metallic nodules in the South China Sea Ominously underwater mining and deepsea energy prospecting seem set to be growth industries over the coming decades A contested continent So what could change between now and 2048 Possibly little the ATCPs might decide to keep the Protocol and continue to prohibit mining Or they might not The recent announcement of a marine protected area in the Ross Sea was a good sign for conservationists but it required a great deal of tough negotiation This general protection zone forbids fishing completely and joins an existing special research zone which permits limited fishing of for toothfish and krill These will come up for review in 2047 and 2052 adding another dimension to what could become a period of unparalled change for polar governance If the ATCPs decide to question the provisions of the Protocol automated mining could begin soon after Those in favour might argue that the Antarctic environment is continuing to degrade in a way that no amount of regional management can halt Or they might put forward the view that the need for new sources of protein outweighs the restrictive conservation measures Either way the special qualities of Antarctica might not carry quite the same emotive weight in the future After 2048 Antarctica could be carved up between nations like every other land mass and surrounding ocean and slowly relieved of its resources Those who care about the future of Antarctica must keep a close eye on the continent and

1 favorite A Newtonian physics question If the velocity vector of a moving particle is always perpendicular to the position vector is the only possible path a circle What if the magnitude of the velocity vector changes what if it doesnt EDIT I meant to write perpendicular not tangent ANOTHER EDIT UGH Im sorry I meant to say this If the velocity vector of a moving particle is always perpendicular to the position vector is the only possible path a circle What if the magnitude of the velocity vector changes newtonianmechanics velocity vectors cite improve this question edited Jul

offtopic The users who voted to close gave this specific reason Homeworklike questions should ask about a specific physics concept and show some effort to work through the problem We want our

question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center please edit the question 1 The velocity vector of a moving particle with constant mass is always tangent to the path traced by the position vector Always Velocity lives in the tangent space David Hammen Jul 25 14 at 2314 Yeah you are absolutely correct I meant to ask the question If the velocity vector of a moving particle is always perpendicular to the position vector is the only possible path a circle What if the magnitude of the velocity vector changes user2993016 Jul 25 14 at 2317 add a comment 5 Answers active votes up vote 2 down vote Velocity always perpendicular to position vector means that the distance from the particle of interest to the origin never changes The question is whether such motion always traces out a circle Counterexample consider a plane pendulum with its pivot at the origin The velocity always obeys which is a good definition of perpendicular but the motion only traces out a small arc of a circle Better counterexample if you dont allow the velocity to pass through zero allow your pendulum to move in three dimensions The particle will always lie on the surface of a sphere but you can trace out arbitrary paths on the sphere youre not limited to great circles For instance if I brought you to my house and gave you a sparkler youd probably hold your arm out stiff distance from shoulder to sparkler constant and spell out your name Im assuming your name isnt Oooo cite improve this answer answered Jul 25 14 at 2239 rob 377k 9 70 158 add a comment up vote 1 down vote No its not always a circle For example in 3 dimension a particle can be constrained to move on a spherical surface It can describe any path on the surface but the velocity vector is always tangential to the surface or perpendicular to the position vector from the center of the sphere cite improve this answer edited Jan 13 15 at 1520 answered Jul 25 14 at 2237 Jolie 1829 2 13 28 Tangent to the path descibed by the position vector not the position vector itself Kyle Oman Jul 25 14 at 2257 add a comment up vote 0 down vote Mathematically yes it will always be a circle If you look in polar coordinates your velocity vector is It does not really matter what this velocity is because no velocity in the radial direction means no movement in that direction The question whether this is still physical Probably not if the magnitude is changing You have to take into account conservation of angular momentum for example where external forces play a big role if is changing cite improve this

position vector is the only possible path a circle What if the magnitude of the velocity vector changes If always points in the same direction the particle is restricted to moving along a circular arc Its not necessarily a circle as robs answer shows That isnt the only choice of velocity vector of a moving particle is always perpendicular to the position vector Space is three dimensional What if the direction of the velocity vector changes but always remains orthogonal to the position vector The particle is now restricted to motion along a spherical surface I wrote the above in the context of Newtonian mechanics Things get just a bit more interesting in relativistic mechanics where the dot product isnt Euclidean cite improve this answer answered Jul 25 14 at 2335 David Hammen 325k 7 55 107 Actually both of my counterexamples have a changing direction for I believe that if you fix the direction of that product then you really are constrained to eventually trace out a full circle in the normal plane rob Jul 26 14 at 216 add a comment up vote 0 down vote In 3dimensional space the particle is restricted to moving inside a spherical shell centred about the origin of the position vector ie that particle will remain at a fixed distance from the origin of the position vector In 2D space the motion of the particle s restricted to that of a circle Heres my proof Lets say we have a position vector Therefore the velocity is The two vectors position and velocity are perpendicular so the scalar product of the two vectors is zero This is due to the geometric definition of the scalar product where is the angle between the two vectors By using a nice trick this is actually equivalent to This becomes apparent whenever you use the product rule for scalar products on the new expression Now from our second equation we can integrate both sides wrt time to get By looking at the geometric definition of the scalar product and noting that the two vectors must of course be parallel then it turns out that That is the distance of the particle from the origin is fixed cite improve this answer answered Jan 13 15 at 1607 SprocketsAreNotGears 1337 5 14 add a comment Not the

How good are the best poker bots Ask Question 19 6 What stakes are the best computer programmed bots currently capable of winning at And is it considered cheating and is there ways to detect them Bots will only get better is this a problem for online poker yet online improve this question edited Apr 14 14 at 2121 asked Apr 14 14 at 2115 user1457 1 despite sharing many of the same rules Limit Holdem and NoLimit Holdem are two entirely different game from a game theory standpoint Limit Holdem is pretty much fully solved and the best bot can play basically as well as the best Limit Holdem players in the world NoLimit Holdem There may be a few bots at the lower stakes on the poker sites which do not heavily track them able to grind some money but theres no way a NoLimit Holdem bot is winning a major tournament any time soon The combinatorial explosion of possible game states is way too big TacticalCoder Jun 27 14 at 919 1 in NoLimit Holdem And that is not just for todays machine unless major discoveries are made in AI theres simply no way NoLimit Holdem are able to compete with good players Regarding cheating yes it is considering cheating and PokerStars for example actively chases bots and confiscates any fund found on botters account They scan the memory of the computer they analyse mouse click movements patterns etc Bots also have a very hard time on site where players can regularly change their screen names TacticalCoder Jun 27 14 at 920 bloombergcomnewsarticles20150108 Ray Tayek Feb 8 15 at 050 forumservertwoplustwocom15pokertheory Ray Tayek Feb 8 15 at 1917 add a comment 6 Answers active oldest votes 6 From what Ive heard and read one of the most advanced poker bots is PokerSnowie an artificial intelligence built using a neural network Thats only being used in training software though As for online poker bots actually playing and avoiding detection on PokerStars for instance Im not sure Any poker bot not based on a neural network is liking just playing a static maximally exploitative strategy vs population tendencies with preprogrammed adjustments for certain player types and frequencies They likely can grind out a profit albeit not a large one Certain Vegas casinos are also offering limit Holdem machines where you can play against AI These are built using neural networks as well I cant find the article but a poker playerprogrammer spent years developing a limit Holdem neural network that he fed millions of hands into effectively teaching it the population tendencies He then won contracts with some of the Vegas casinos for LHE machines I dont think online poker bots are a huge problem yet Its fairly easy to detect them and PokerStars is quite diligent in that regard They will throw up captchas if their system flags someone as potentially being a bot I myself have had to do a captcha while multitabling a large amount of tables And of course its considered cheating Once a computer program is taking actions for you most poker sites consider it cheating Theyll allow software that helps you make better decisions but anything that acts for you generally isnt allowed improve this answer edited Apr 14 14 at 2235 answered

the bot how to play myself rather than blindly trusting my money with someone elses bot How good I cant directly answer your question given that its not exactly a poker bot but rather a poker bot creator but i can tell you this the main advantages are unlimited patience 100 percent strictness perfect mathematics and in the case of sagittarius abz it has a player type database feature which allows you to play differently against different players you can also see statistics based on each single decision taken and whether it was profitable over a series of games so you can keep tweaking your bot and improving it over time Capable of winning Ive been using sagittarius abz for quite some time now on pokerstars I began fiddling around with play money until I got a hang of it so far I have created a strategy which i am actually making profit consistently for the last 2 months on a 6max table cash game running on 4 tables concurrently running on more than 4 table there is a good change ps will popup a captcha which you will have to be present on the PC while its running to enter it I am not sure about other sites but ive heard they dont Cheatingways to detect them Yes it is considered as cheating There are many ways to detect bots mouse movements previously detected bots running processes blacklisted bots randomly misplaced pixels to confuse the bot similar gameplay patterns preprogrammed bots and more however the truth is a well programmed stealth bot such as the one i use its almost impossible to detect unless you hack the PC running the bot So it all boils down to how many hours you play a day and how much you multitable because a person playing on 8 tables for 48 hours is definitely a bot Problem for online poker yet In theory the best bot possible will manage to play all its winning hands until showdown and fold all its losing hands before losing too much money This will not be a problem even if there are many bots around as poker is what it is gambling It is really the big picture that counts how much money you are left with after subtracting your losses from your profits improve this answer edited Aug 19 16 at 2151 ejLev 531 3 15 answered

anomalies like someone being on tilt but they make up for it in other ways such as discipline stability and longevity The Shanky Bot actually does very well in MTTs Thats what most of the players who have it use it for Its efficient at stack management and obeying the preset standards of when its time to start pushing aggressively Cash games are tougher these days with or without a bot But some Shanky bot users do well in them As far as I know this is the only real commercial poker bot available the only one an average person can use effectively The other one is Open Holdem but thats more for programmergeek types and does better at fixed limit games improve this answer answered Jun 27 14 at 357 Brian 19 1 Bots cant react to changing game conditions or individual player anomalies like someone being on tilt I would strongly disagree with this statement An appropriately trained neural network could absolutely detect and adjust to things like a player tilting The bot wouldnt know it was sporting a tilting player but it could identify the patterns of events around a tilting player and adjust to them accordingly 3N1GM4 Jan 1 17 at 1806 add a comment 1 98 of all bots and 90 of shanky Botters lose money it is more of a novelty that most tire of in a short time There are a few hard core reg botters that grind a small profit by probably working just as hard as any player showing a profit There is no pot of gold in botting but for some is it a fun distraction from mundane playing for hours and hours just the break even The big winners are the poker sites Poker stars because of their policy actually have the best bots and botters on their site improve this answer answered Oct 23 14 at 430 Fred Jewell 19 1 add a comment 1 Answer there are poker AIs that can beat NLH even the NL100 with 57bb100 There are poker AIs that beat NLO and MTTs Some rooms use poker AI to play near zero games to create games and generate rake from real players Playing poker using bots is cheating BTW you must understand that if the business has profit it can not be easily forbidden Using friendly bots in poker rooms is a nature of poker boom supporting Moreover beating bots is not a problem for advanced players BTW there are a lot of newbies that cry about money lost in playing with bots Of course newbies are losing money against not only bots Comment Marketing around Shanky makes me laugh all days Really 99 of their profiles play with negative winrate even on NL2 and 1 with around zero winrate Saggitarius and other bot products are based on Shanky or Open Holdem Believe me guys that make money using real winning oker AI will never share their products but will earn money on poker rooms attracting new partners to the business improve this answer edited Dec 30 16 at

would question in what capacity I could participate in the business knowing nothing about me what do you think I could contribute If the answer is capital then it would seem odd that youd canvas for investment on a fairly lowtraffic SE site and Id have the question the legitimacy of that business Just my 002 3N1GM4 Jan 1 17 at 1800 not your capital your ability to contribute in the poker AI related business means you want to make money here there are at least 3 ways of doing that Write to flicky4flicky gmail mailbox Mark Grinder Jan 8 17 at 1234 add a comment 2 Bots can probably win only at small stakes if at all since the best players are not playing at small stake tables Bots are not good at determining opponent strategy and adjusting their play for that Humans do this all the time even unconsciously So Humans have an edge over bots especially the good players On the other hand bots do not lose patience and do not go on a tilt Is it considered cheating Personally I would welcome bots at my table as it gives me an edge but it depends on your point of view improve this answer edited Aug 14 17 at 2000 Toby Booth 5338 2 15 42 answered Jun 18 14 at 905 David Moraes 1 Bots are not
