its more like where are all the online poker players

party cut off US interests so that should account for graph

i dont play donkaments because i make more in cash games and i dont have to play 6 hours straight to have a nice score. and less variance.

Bodog has some growth in it. They lowered the guarantees on a bunch of their daily tournaments a few months ago because they all had overlays, but 3 days ago jumped one from $4k to $5k guaranteed, in which it is filling up to $5k everyday.

i think he's asking where all the party players went.

and i think the answer is they were probably already also playing on other sites, or just havnt found new homes yet.

There were SO many fish on Partypoker who probably heard the news, and then saw that Party was blocking them from sitting because they were U.S. players....and then just assumed that ALL sites had shut down.

Either that or it's more difficult to get money into sites like Fulltilt or Stars than Party Poker.

Yes, the question is, there are 50K fewer daily MTT entries than their were a couple of weeks ago. Do you guys think that these MTT players are lost for good, or are they just taking their time moving to other sites?

Well you can see that Stars and FTP are both on a slight incline since the major drop from Party, so people are finding new homes. I think the numbers will come around.
