I would love to see the same information for just American players. I'm sure it isn't possible, but just food for thought. The increase must be due to non-Americans.

Here are some average player counts since Sept. 1. I picked the 4 most interesting sites (IMO) so as not to clutter up the graph.

Thx Scout..

One of the interesting things this graphs brings to light, is that players started to stop playing at Party, immediately following the passing of the legislation and their statement that they were pulling out. Of course that trend jumped when they actually locked out players after the Preident signed the bill.

While on the other hand, as others have noted, Full Tilt is clearly benefitting from the bill, and started picking up players from the point the legislation passed.

Stars did not start to pick up players until it released its statement and the President signed the bill. By delaying putting out a statement until the last minute, Stars may have as a result ceded the early switchers to FT.

Thanks for the heads-up. Is the phone replay really the only way to get the audio on that call? I thought all big companies put out streaming audio and/or transcripts these days, but I couldn't find any of that stuff on their site.

The replay is worth a listen, it was only about 45 minutes...

Some type of audio interview may appear on Cantos.com, but its not up yet for the 3rd Qtr info.

Well, bad news from an online tracking perspective. Party has basically eliminated the completed tournaments in the lobby, so we won't be able to track their further decline. I think they saw this thread and didn't want their results published anymore. I'm thinking up various revenge strategies now.

The good news is that we should still be able to see how well Stars, Party and FTP do over the next few months.

Wow, they really are trying to hide their data...

Suggestion: Pull the data from tournaments while they are running... you won't be able to capture all the individual winnners stats, but you will capture the overall info [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I notice PartyPoker is down quite a bit over the last two days. Is this to do with the 'hiding' of data'? What's the point if it makes you look like you're slipping
