[censored], the more interesting question would seem to be, where did 50K daily MTT entrants go, and will they reappear?

It'd be nice if they'd reappear in DC with torches and pitchforks. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Hey Scout... just fyi, Party's CEO on their conference call mentioned your site [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

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.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I see this rather insignificant overall drop as a huge positive. I was fully expecting total numbers to drop by half or more.

We won't really know the impact until the regs get written and the banks start blocking transactions but it does seem like the majority of Americans are thumbing their nose at the government.

Thanks again to pokersitescout for the info.

Interesting data. PokerSiteScout, Sniper, et. al. thanks for posting this stuff.

What point you are trying to make with these numbers? The obvious "first-glance" conclusion is the online poker community lost 779 players from Party's US closure. But this is of course not accurate since this data represents seats and not individual players (right?), some Party refugees may play at other sites, etc.

Also, it seems from this two-week snapshot that Party lost about 40% of its seats so far. But I thought U.S. accounted for like 80% of its revenue. What is the explanation for this? Is it that US players play at higher stakes?

the numbers show peak times only. party's peakhours are now 5-6 hours earlier, and start to drop after their daily peak. previously, their numbers kept going up for 5-6 more hours.

it's not just the 40% decline, but also completely missing out on the busiest time of the day, which can't be shown in the numbers that are available.
