From her IP address? Or do you or Stars feel it's not necessary to find out? I think information like that would be kind of important.

Why do you have to be computer savvy to multi-table? All you do is click buttons. Stars software always brings the action table to the foreground.

If she is playing a TAG-style, I don't see how it would be so difficult to achieve. She isn't 85.

Six-tabling is not that easy, especially to someone who hasn't grown up with/isn't familiar with computers. Its easy for us because we mostly grew up in the computer generation, or we played winning poker for years before playing online and workign up to 6 tables. It sounds like she did neither. She is so unfamiliar with computers/technology that she couldn't figure out how to open a hotmail account (not that hard of a feat), but she can 6-table?

So are we ever gonna see emails or what?

*edit* FWIW, the original post sounded fishy to me when I first read it yesterday. The longer this drags on and the more I read, the more it seems that we're not getting the whole story. I'm not saying that Teddy did something wrong with anywhere near 100% certainty. It's just that my gut tells me there's more to the story.

I don't see why someone would hack your mom's computer, and instead of stealing whatever the could, decide to put a bot on it to play 43 hours of nano limits.

Your mom probably tried out a bot. Maybe she had a friend who told her it was a good idea etc. And doesnt feel like ratting the friend out to you.

Nah, that doesn't make sense either, a 57 year old lady who can't open her own hotmail account is not going to be able to figure out how to implement a bot, even if someone else writes the script for her.

Yep. Even if she could figure out how to use a bot, she would be too scared to make the attempt.

teddy i believe you. i think its very important to understand why this happened.

ya people are going crazy over the mom thing. I don't think that was a necessary part of the issue. "But she's a 57 year old mom!" People don't normally show signs of alzheimers at 57. And having kids doesn't make you more stupid or something either. I wouldn't be surprised if your mom did some research on win hold em and then left it running for the 2 days stars said her account was playing. How good is your relationship with your mom? Would she be embarrassed to talk to you about something like this?
