does the shanky holdem poker bot actually work?
like can you break even at a limit table and earn rakeback? And can the rooms detect it?

Short answer… no. You can earn rakeback, but you definitely won’t make up for your losses. The rooms can’t detect the bots for the most part (PokerStars is the exception), but there are no poker bot programs out there that will be a long-term winner right "out of the box". I’ve been trying various poker bot programs for about 6 months now and done nothing but lose.
They CAN work – but you will need to invest the time and energy to program them. Shanky requires some basic programming knowledge, and there are others that you don’t need to know C++ or anything like that, but still it takes a lot of time and effort and you have the know poker well enough to make it a winner yourself. And even then, the best bots still only ultimately make about 1.2BB/hr over the long run. These guys sell this robot, but if they made them long-term winners, their robots wouldn’t be as good and no one would make anything! They make them good enough to not lose a ton out of the box and leave it up to you to make it a winner. For the amount of money, time and effort required to make a winner, you might as well learn the game yourself!
There is something better out there though. If you follow this link (http://0023f9y98w7wjufh2p4mz-3ke1.hop.clickbank.net/) you can buy into a real site that teaches good poker. It’s not a traditional poker advice site, its very straightforward and tells you what to do in all situations. You won’t make millions, but you can easy follow their advice and make a couple thousand monthly playing online! Most other sites like this will give three different answers to one situation, for example on a flush draw, they will say "usually raise, but it depends on your read of your opponent, sometimes its best to just fold and sometimes just calling will save you money"… all very vague and doesn’t really help much. This site is very straightforward and comes up with a program that will increase your bankroll and make you some good money, and how much you make only depends on how much time you spend. Like I said, you won’t make millions overnight, but you can quickly learn how to make the right high percentage plays and let your opponents walk right into your hand. I’ve been playing for about a week with this site and finally got my bankroll up to about $1,000 playing low stakes! It’s really the best bang for your buck out there, and for only $14 a month, its worth a try at least. Oh and there’s a money back guarantee, so trying it out won’t hurt a bit! Good luck!
