In the future, robots won't be allowed to play poker
Phil Hellmuth's mobile phone poker game has been invaded by bots! Every single table has been infected with some "user" named "Hardtokill". This thing is obviously a bot and its creator has figured out how to exploit some holes in the software. It takes the full 20 seconds to decide a move, then you never hear from it again throughout the hand. It never bets a penny, but if it has the best hand it takes the pot. Then, after each hand, it supposedly exits the table, only to reappear before dealing begins for the next hand.
This single 'bot has basically ruined the game for me. I hope the folks who run the app figure out how to block it soon.
On the geek side, I'm really curious how they're interacting with the game server. Surely they're not using a cellphone. If so, I'd hate to see their bill!
