poker / credit crunch / sky

[Grier78]

To say that a company's share price is a good reflection of a company's profitability is like saying that the level played by a Poker player is representative of how good they are. Yes the two are linked but ultimately there is a lot of gambling involved.

Wow those graphs are really cool, can we have more poker sites graphs on there please.

Also, I stopped playing pacific as of about September and it's really noticeable how dead it has gotten. There used to be tons of 10/20nl running along with a 25/50 and 50/100nl table which was great. Now, a 10/20nl table is a rarity.

Well lets have a look at stars 6 month trend, scroll to the bottom

Record number of cash players on there, on Tuesday and 25% more than 6 months ago.

Full tilt showing an upward trend as well

I think Longy it is hitting the second tier sites more..ie less established player loyalty, perhaps not the quality of site experience that you get with tilt and Stars, almost certainly not the traffic

I know a lot of the secondary sites are really struggling....one (not us) average deposit amounts are down 30% on a rolling 3 months

I think you are going to see a lot  more consolidation and closures beneath the big few networks

I think you bust everyone.
