hi

I have a question .... At first sight it seems that up to now there isn't too much damage done by the new law in the USA. Or do you think we would see even higher peak numbers without the ban in the usa and would we see numbers around 80K or even higher without the ban or is that just wishfull thinking ? The only thing I notice is that the highest limits are gone , but it seems that for most players not much has changed until now. Do you think this will change when the regulations are out ? Could that be the real time to see what will happen ? Also many sites have already closed for USA players , so for those sites nothing will change.

Without having years of data it's hard to say, but I'm sure at least some damage was done.

I mostly just wanted to say that you're wrong about the highest limits. Full Tilt almost consistently runs high stakes games that were not available anywhere a year ago. Stars also has stakes that weren't available a year ago and now occasionally run. Stars 25/50 NL and 100/200 Limit have only grown if anything.
