Anyone bored for a quick puzzle?

Player Bryan1 on paradise is on two tables, Akamaru and Madua (.5/1).

He answers no chat and plays normally on one table, but on the other he is folding every hand by timing out, but still managing to post blinds as if connected.

This has lasted 90 minutes so far, although a group of people just mailed support.

Any thoughts?

Well after 100 mins or so, he suddenly disconnected from both tables and reappeared at just one.

Guess we'll never know.

Oh [censored] I was banned there over a year ago. Not still posting blinds! I hope. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

How the hell did you spot this? This is clearly bottish behavior.

This definitely sounds like a bot.

Subject: bot?

Hi again,

With regards my previous email, I have to admit that I've never made this
claim before on your site, but it really resembles a broken bot that can
only see one window.

I'm curious. Is your concern that the bot exists at all, or just that it is taking up too much time?

If time wasn't an issue why not figure out its program and take advantage of it?

On this occasion it was merely that the hands/hour had dropped to 23 and I was bored out of my mind trying to clear the bonus as it was.
The .5/1 Para thing is something I do last thing before bed when I don't need to really engage my brain.

I also thought there might be a genuine snafu that the player didn't know about, and I don't really want to win money off someone and then find out that I was considered to be cheating or something similar.
I left the table and emailed because it was a table I'd have been happy sitting at.

With Saabpo as my proof, I can honestly say I'm fascinated about how bots work rather than getting them banned, at least for now.
It is of course important to get them banned because they scare fish, and some even eat fish, as we saw with saabpo.

I don't get it. What does this have to do with PokerNOW suspending rakeback?
