What to do when you suspect someone is a bot?

I play with him every day and have good reasons to suspect he's a bot. Reasons:

When he losses a pot and falls short 100bb he doesn't top up for awhile. He only tops up every hour or so. He can have $40 at one table and $200 at the other ones. It's likely difficult to program a bot to top up on this site, so I imagine someone is checking up on it every hour. This player buyins in for 100bb so there's no reason for him to let his stack run short.

He plays a significant amount of tables and for long hours each day (8hrs+). No breaks. I just finished a 6hr session, slept and woke up, and he's been playing the entire time.

If I raise 2.5 he makes it 8.5, i raise 2.2 he makes it 8.1. That's an odd amount to detail considering the amount of tables he's playing.

Never plays < 5 handed.

And I have other reasons concerning his play..

How does one acquire evidence that a player is a bot? There have been several bots outed on the site I play on. I can't imagine the site will do anything without evidence. Also, how does one exploit a bot? Any vids on bot vs human play?

(The site is untrackable, no HUD, no HHs)

Hmmm, there's some slightly bizarre stuff in there but I wouldn't necessarily be convinced that your opponent is a bot. If you think that he might be then your best bet is to email support for the site that you're playing on.

As far as playing versus a bot, you might want to take some unconventional lines and see how it reacts. If the account is a bot, it might be poorly programmed to deal with small bets, overbets, limps, check raises etc. Basically, you're going to want to try stuff to see how it reacts and then take notes, the same way that you would for a regular player. The main difference here, is that if you find an exploit, it's very likely that you'll be able to keep using this exploit for weeks or longer without anyone noticing.
