By Andrew for SmokePoker.com · Leave a Comment
I usually get a lot of digital products like poker bots, poker calculators, etc. that intrepid gaming programmers want me to test out and review. But occasionally, someone mails me a physical poker-related product to review. A few days ago, I received just such an item that really excited me.

After all, there have always been loopholes to any law that has been laid down. Yet just recently, someone with authority – a top American gambling administrator,... [Read the full story]

Created by Mike “Mad Genius” Caro in 1984, this poker bot could actually be dubbed as the father of all poker bots. So who is Mike Caro? Well, his Wikipedia entry reads: “In 1978 he contributed 50 statistical tables to Doyle Brunson’s Super System and wrote that book’s chapter on draw poker. He acts as a consultant to many casinos, providing odds, and he helped develop the Poker Probe, the first serious... [Read the full story]
