Bots on iPoker?

Something is very strange at iPoker. Go to sharkscope at type TTR in the search option and you will notice over a dozen accounts that begin with these 3 letters then followed by numbers. I've run in to these opponents several times and have always had to shake my head after each game in disbelief. I dont know if the site uses fake accounts to keep action going but its very bizarre. What are your thoughts?

iPoker is the most popular

iPoker is the most popular network used by bots. It's not a secret and it is an issue that has been reported hundreds of times to iPoker but they do not care. Well, this might not be entirley true, they have had a skin who contacted the biggest public bot creater directly asking to remove his skin from their supported skin side, which they gladly did.The public (=anyone can buy them) are able to use manually writen profiles and their are people earning their living by writting those profiles. Furthermore, they are supported by additional tools like as auto loader and hoppers, which allow to join game automatically and even allow to do auto table select (for example, they might block to join tables with #regulars >=2).  And of course they use stealth. Hell, they are even able to switch profiles according to the stage of the tournament they are in and ofc they use NASH for HU in tournaments / sngs.Most bots are break even players, but due to the high RB one receives on iPoker the network is so popular. The question is: why should iPoker mind? They make plenty of money with the bots.The only cases I reminded that bots have been banned from iPoker was when someone did let run his bot for 100 hours in a row./edit: as far as the TTR goes. Those are players playing on Titan who did not chose a name on their own and therefore got one asigned by titan. You can google for more information.

Those might be players from

Those might be players from titan, but i honestly doubt that it are bots. Bot owner usually do not chose to play freerolls (unless they would be very lucrative - but most bot owners would not notice such freerolls anyways).
