I've been back playing some online poker again after a fairly lengthy hiatus, and a question occurred to me. I tried a lot of googling on it, but mostly find pages containing pokerbot rants and controversies.

I was wondering if there's a software plugin where you can automate certain parts of online poker play. I guess you could call it, a quasi poker bot.

I personally don't see any ethical concerns with it, but I guess my question is one-does it exist and two-is/are this type of software banned as bots from most online poker sites like normal fully automated poker bots.

For instance, the main thing that occurred to me is that it'd be nice to have a program automatically fold different sets of starting hands for you (that the user would choose) in different positions/seats.

This would be most advantageous for multitabling cash games. Rather than the table window flashing or popping up on a hand you're going to fold anyway in that position, the program would fold it for you and thus prevent any window popping up at you.

Otherwise, the bot would be inactive and you, the human, would be deciding what to do with the hands your program didn't fold for you.

I would think this exists. And I have no idea whether any automation whatsoever is also considered controversial to online poker sites.

Thanks to anyone in advance.

nobody? I thought this was an interesting topic. A partly automated program like this would make multitabling cash games much more efficient for a player, and even allow them to run more tables better.

anyone know of something like this?
