We will be starting with limited stakes in Hold'em only as a soft launch. PLO and other stakes will be rolled out afterwards.

HU, anonymous tables and other variations will definitely be considered for future updates.

No doubt the games will be populated with the traditional iPoker bots to get them underway

You would think they would sort out the bugs with the original software before adding this.

Hello,

the beta version is already available on all big bookmaker skins, for Poker770 is foreseen within the first half of July 2012. However I do not know any exact date for smaller white label skins.

Best regards,

Speed Poker is now also available on Poker770, earlier than expected. This may also mean that all smaller skins will have it implemented within the next few days.

do you really think ipoker has a large enough player pool for this to be feasible? At pokerstars, 200NL FR almost never runs and ya know, their player pool puts ipoker's to shame (looking at the software/bots etc not hard to see why)

You can simply target more recreational players to play a bit in speed poker, where you generate more rake in a short time and thus bump your numbers accordingly.

Bad idea to let 1 "player" (on ipoker read bot) enter the same pool 10 times. It means any regs or bots that find an edge at a game will multi table, while the fish will be single tabling.

So you could start with 50% fish and 50% regs/bots which should be a nice winnable game then multitabling multiples the regs/bots X 5 with the same amount of fish, now its a very hard game to win at.

As far as I am aware speed poker will be available to all skins regardless of the upcoming Network split. The split itself will only be for cash game tables throughout the network, but I don't know yet if the limitations will also be the case for speed poker.

how do you think the fact that there are tons upon tons of bots operating on ipoker affect speed poker?

= we want more rake, let's kill the games.

not sure how u think SP will run at games like 100FR or 50FR, even 100 6m given not all the players will go to SP so the player pool will be segregated or you'll just flat out lose players that don't like SP b/c there's no more traffic at the normal games.

Ipoker dont half shoot themselves in the foot on a regular basis.

When will they actually listen to what players are saying !

If they actually did something about the bots and improved their software then ( surprise surprise ) ... players would start to come back.

Seems Ipoker will try anything expect the things that players actually want.

We've been told that it will be fully launched on Boyle within the next two weeks.

I got the impression that there might be a mini-release before the full release on Boyle too, but could have misinterpreted.

Whatever it is, it's going to be pretty soon!

Anyone else getting major lag after playing for it awhile? I'm playing on Will Hill and after about 45-50min of 4 tabling, it starts to lag really bad. If I close will hill and restart it, it works fine again for another 45-50 min. Not sure what is causing it and very annoying to interrupt sessions like that.

I tried without HEM and got the same results.
