A computer poker player is a computer program designed to play the game of poker (generally the Texas hold 'em version), against human opponents or other computer opponents. It is commonly referred to as pokerbot or just simply bot. As of 2024, computers can beat any human player in poker.
Historically, poker bots have been used by players looking to make a quick buck. While some bots are profitable, those bucks rarely come quickly. In reality, successful bots tend to play at low stakes for long periods of time.
