Default Re: Stars catches a bot and it\'s........my mom

Okay here's what I think happened:

1. You mom somehow got to multi-tabling, but instead of knowing the game or whatever, she simply clicked buttons without any thought to her cards or previous action in the hand at all. This could be seen as a bot with seemingly random actions (that "thought" for the same amount of time everytime since there was no actual thinking involved - kinda like playing a slot machine).

2. (Much more likely) her account or computer has been compromised and someone else was doing this "botting" through her computer or another on her account. Computer Illiterate people + monetary transactions on the computer = trouble. They are sitting ducks for phishers, trojans, backdoors, etc.
