I just looked on stars and saw that there were ~110k players online. This number is comparable to Party in it's heyday, so I was wondering how come there are only 6-8 tables of 15/30+ 6max going. If there are the same number of players online, what happened to all the midstakes action?

Then I counted the 60ish 2/4 and 3/6 6max NL tables currently running.

I think the trickle-up economy of limit holdem is still in a serious downturn. With only like 10 10/20 and 15/30 tables going at any given time, there aren't enough bad players that will run hot there, win a bunch, then move up.

There used to be thousands of poor-playing regular lower mid-stakes players, and hundreds of them who ran hot for 3 or 4 weeks would go on to become losing 30/60+ players.

I don't think there can possibly be any real resurgence unless you start seeing a shitton of soft lower-midstake games going 24/7.
