Speed Poker on IPoker network

[Poker Orifice]

I just recently started playing a bit of SpeedPoker on the iPoker network (similiar to Rush on FTP or ZOOM on Stars). I needed to grab a handful of points on a couple of networks for some bonus freerolls & seemed like the quickest way to do it.
Something I've noticed was there were a number of them who were 6-tabling, 6-max Speed poker, many of them doing so with 40bb stacks (the min. buyin on those tables). I don't play Zoom or RUSH & am currently 2-tabling these iPoker speed tables & to me it would seem like 6tables of this would be umm.... kinda hard to do? Even if you had them stacked wouldn't 6 be a bit too many? (I mean you're speed folding).

Got me to wondering if some of them are bots. Super small sample so far (3-4 hrs. 2-tabling 6max), but seems to be a pattern for some of them (ie. 3betting BTN raises in BB like 100% of the time, c-betting 100%, giving up turn 100% (after 3-betting from blinds & C-betting).
Also, same player names on there whether it be morning or night my time. These guys are either grinding machines or they just are machines, lol.

Anyways, I've been having a bit of fun with them playing ATC while perusing the lobby & labelling all the ones with 5 or more tables running.

Any thoughts? I read some stuff about bots on iPoker a couple years back but am not up-to-date on any of it now.

I haven't seen any CC members on the 5nl 6max speed tables on iPoker so maybe that's why this thread isn't getting any love?

Seems to be quite a few players who like to buyin for 40bb's & play 5 to 6 speed tables. Maybe none are bots (but some of the play is super predictable).

Just started playing a bit of this (instead of PL O8) to pick up pts. for some special freerolls (ie. the Canadian $2.5k freeroll on Titan, $3k LATM on Titan, & some others on WillHill). I'm becoming addicted (< or does that mean I already am?). Small sample size but am running at better than 50bb/100 which suits me fine while in pursuit for player pts.

Small sample size but am running at better than 50bb/100 which suits me fine while in pursuit for player pts.

Played ~10,000 hands of this now at 22.27bb/100 (in my quest for pts., lol) Finding I still get more points & faster from PLO8 (but maybe it's cuz I'm such a donk at it).

I'm guessing these Speed tables are softer than 'Zoom' is on Stars (but wouldn't know as I haven't played any Zoom & rarely ever play on Stars period).

Well, I know a guy who has used bots before, and he told me that ipoker sites are full of bots. Seems they don't really have a mechanism against it.

Have seen a few players on these tables who are 10-tabling them.
I'm now playing 4-tables but still think 6+ tables of this is pretty extreme. How do you 10-table Speed poker. Maybe a better question is > Why?

i think one of the reasons why is people want to reach crazy ranks on ps lik supernova also people can play lik bot a lot of the time on bovada and not a lot of people are going to pick up on that on ps with the huge player pools of zoom especially in th low stakes
