Increased pokerstars traffic

[sup_bro]

is it me or has the number of people on POKERSTARS increased significantly from a month or so ago with peaks of cash game players of over 15-16K during optimal times as opposed to just 10K people on just over a month ago.... anyone know of any reasons for this?? just seems odd that people have woken up and seen that internet poker is not going away in the US......

new advertisements/WSOP shows?

[superpokermon]

Maybe partly due to the end of summer in the US and Europe. People play more online when the weather is colder/not as nice.

-- ads on WSOP/tv
-- echeck option open to people who may have left PS a while ago

How many tackles you got as of today?

[jono]

the normal increase in poker play in general due to espn broadcasting the wsop?

AP fallout

[chezlaw]

maybe people trying to hit milestones before year end.

i think u guys are right must be the espn wsop coverage as well as echecks which certainly has made it much easier for people to deposit but the odd part is that i notice in some of the higher stake games 30/60 and up limit wise there are so many new names and u cant deposit higher stakes type money using echecks since the limits are so low....

Rather easy explanation for that IMO - Absolute's crash everybody came to Stars to play.
