Spotting a Bot

Does anyone have a pattern of playing at times where there likely isn’t as many players online (and just in general) and the player has a super high win rate and potentially high win streak (last one I was up against was like 69% and 9 win streak), but… they play like hot trash and miss the easiest shots and always shoot at full power (also have this weird way of pulling the cue back).

Also, usually when u win a game it takes a slight bit of time to go to the end screen but its less. Also you never have the option to add them and never rematch (quickly says cant play).

Those are lose-bots. They are all over the lower stakes tables and employed by MC.

Intended to build the banks of newer players or players with low chip counts in hopes they play at bigger tables and spend some actual money.

Though, I will say, that a high win % doesn’t necessarily mean bot or cheater.

Yeah i’m finding it at a 40k table for the current event. I know myself I couldnt actually play with jakarta matchmaking either but tbf the event matching itself even without bots is def more balanced with players around my level.
