Over the last year there was a situation where a player was using and sharing Nash "charts" for no limit on Pokerstars. Originally PS had allowed the software, but decided to change its police since it was more than just a preflop starting hand chart.
I believe the charts were used in headsup SNGs, which makes sense since it eliminates a lot of variables in solving for game theory optimal plays, and a lot of the play is shortstacked. And if a human can look at a chart and click a button, then so can a piece of software.

I've also talked to a few players who suspect there exist bots in headsup cash games that avoid playing regular winning players.
So I don't know if there are any 100% true general no limit bots, but there's definitely some automated play going on.
- mod 10y agoI used to run a bot that would select my games for me. I developed it myself. I played HUSNGs exclusively, and the bot would just scan the lobbies looking for below-average players to sit. It would them automatically sit them if I was not already playing 3 games (my winrate decreased drastically at 4 tables). I had a 60% winrate during that time, which is very, very good in HUSNGs.
