Poker Bot piece

I think one good way to thwart a bot would be to randomize the placement of the Fold Call Bet etc buttons on every turn.

The problem with this is that somebody's going to complain that they "mis-clicked" because of the random placement, costing them a huge pot. I think you're on the right track, though. How about a text box that prompted you to type in a displayed word (skewed, like with e-mail sign-up protection) every 100 hands or so? Programs seem to have problems reading words that are distorted.
