This guy has to be a poker bot

[!<PokerGuy>!]

I have been observing a player for about a day now. Yesterday I played with him for 12 hours at a $0.25/$0.50 limit hold 'em table and he never missed a hand. Today, he is still there. However, he just switched tables, then switched back, taking his profit off the table. He never responds to chat, he never folds automatically, he seems to act in the same amount of time every time, and his play is pretty predictable. Part of me wants to take advantage of his predictability, but isn't it unethical, if not illegal, to use a computer program or "poker bot" to take money off the shmucks at the lowest limit? I am very curious to know if this is even possible.

Poker bots have been a common theme in online gambling and poker playing for several years now, it has been almost impossible to catch them. Like slimy snakes, they seek out unassuming new poker players that are still naive about the online gambling world. The security department of Full Tilt Poker has sent out emails advising several players on their site they are victims and refunds will be given.

(Full Tilt Poker has frozen the associated accounts and seized the money of the alleged players utilizing bots).

There are many ways to flush the hard work of coding a bot down the toilet. Most seem obvious, but greed clouds judgement.
