Hi HN,

Regular poker platforms ban the use of bots. They fear bots provides an unfair advantage. But honestly, I don't think it is the right response. Instead of fighting the use of bots, platforms should think hard on how to best incorporate bots in the game with humans.

For example, I could find on several forums that the capacity to analyze thousands of "hand histories" provides an unfair advantage to bots. Ok, fair enough. The solution is simple: anonymize players and hand histories become worthless.

That is why I am working on a poker platform for bots. The one thing I learned in StartupSchool 2019 is that you should talk to potential users before working on a solution. So here I am with a discussion and a landing page :-)

What do you guys think?

Thank you!

Maxime.
