Let say that You made poker bot that is long turn profitable, like most of the regs. But your only problem is detection.
What would You do?

Let say that You do not have any software on main PC ( where poker client is installed ) and You get screenshot using hardware device. Reading from table is solved.
Now we have problem with input ( probably best to use hotkeys or is this to suspicious? )
I guess if You use keys, they can track your response time, thats all and that can be easily fixed with human like timings )

But then , in the end, they can use correlation between your accounts and find patterns ( if You use same bot ).
You really need different play styles to make this work.
Different play styles in PFR and FTR. This can be very difficult.
Good thing is that they need lots of hands to be sure.

Ok, we are talking about Stars, I was banned 5 times now :D
Have lots of info how they found me, but still.

Last time they found me,someone else was colluding on my table, and when they checked that table, they somehow found all my bots. First they gave me money because there was collusion on my table, then after few days they ban all my bots :( .

I see big problem in having more then one bot. If You have any good advice, please share that with me or You can send me PM.

Having all bots play the same way really gives you away. Add variations.

I had no problems on Stars so far, but probably played too few hands or not won enough that they would be interested in it.

[Edit:] I also use keyboard to play, not mouse.

Do you use the keyboard for everything? Even switching between tables? Have you ever got a captcha?

Yes. I open the tables (zoom) by hand with mouse and from there on everything is keyboard only. Never got a captcha, but I play micro and win only a little.
