Paradise Poker has no intention of leaving US market in short term. (http://www.gambling911.com/Online-Poker-Paradise-Poker-100206.html)

Hopefully if enough sites respond like this, Party and PokerStars won't bail out.

When exactly did stars say they were bailing out?

It's only been hearsay on these forums just like the rest of the hysteria going on in here.

Paradise did not panic when their CEO was arrested weeks ago, and they are linked to sports betting. I think they are more likely to stick around for the US players. Good for them.

Please don't spread misinformation around.

They have 5 max tables as well as hand histories stored in your hard drive.

Also having 1000 players during NON peak hours.

You do realize that WPEX is over 1000 right now, and has been running as high as 1500 most days for probably a month?

[/ QUOTE ]It was a joke for anyone who remembers playing back then. The players told Planet their software sucks and they didnt want to listen and used proof that they were growing as evidence that players liked it. They failed to ignore that everyone was growing 100x faster than them. lol

I couldn't care less about having software I like. Does it deal me cards? Will they take me as a customer? Heck, at this point I would take a text based software version as long as I can still play.

umm, theoretically isn't 5max better than 6max if you know what you're doing? I know most of the top players with their table selection don't mind being in games with less than 6 players and might even prefer it.

You've fallen victim to faulty info, they only peaked at 391 real money players (http://www.pokersitescout.com/) over the last 24 hours.

Maybe, but 6max is what people are used to.

This is true but the downside is that 5-max tables break up much easier. At least that's been my experience.

The site gives the actual number of cash players on the site.

The statistics the sites give you are the number of seats being occupied, and also include free players and tournies.

It is my understanding that the limit is four. I have played four tables at once as recently as last week.
