If you're assuming he's catching network traffic off the one central router that sends it to everyone, we go back to the original problem: it would be sending the traffic to *everyone* connected to Absolute. Why can't he see multiple tables? If computing power is the limitation, botnets aren't hard to come by and off the shelf P4's are even easier.

True, computing power is not hard to come by - but he was rumbled pretty darn quick. Also, it may be due to the computing power of the device that that has been comprimised, if he must re-program it to send packets matching $name_of_table, it may not be able to do more than one.

Still, I'm probably cluching at straws here...

Just seems with the mammoth greed and the chip-dumping for cashout of small percentage of winnings - does not jive with inside job for me - outside hacker/disgruntled employee are far and away my favourites for this.

Why? What else would it need that we would notice?

When a suspect player could be playing up to 6 tables - Why would a "pit-boss" be limited to observing 1/6 of the suspect's play?

And surely a super-user "pit-boss" account would track players by screenname, not by table name - thus the lag while changing / typing in table name would not occur?
