No, I'm not playing chouettes online. I play live.

I obviously don't think that the bots cheat. However, I don't think I'm entirely immune from the psychological effect that causes others to think that the bot cheats. If for example your psychological state is different in a PR tournament than in a regular tournament, then I believe that what I said is relevant.

It's not just a random fish that I'm targeting. In my circle, I've gotten a reputation for getting a lot of "lucky rolls." This is roughly the equivalent of people thinking that I'm "cheating" (if I were a bot). Though they all know that it isn't true in a literal sense, I suspect that it does subtly influence their behavior OTB.
