Default Optimal market situation in online poker?

I think current market situation in online poker sucks for players who doesnŽt play holdŽem but other forms of poker. There is one site (Stars) which hits 10000 user/seat peak, but averages maybe 6000 users throughout the day. Then there are Party and FT which average about 4000 throughout the day. And then seven(!) sites which peak between 2000-4000 users a day.

I think the otimal situation would be:
Two equal sized big sites, which would peak around 13000 a day. Enough table selection so one wouldnŽt have to keep two sites open at the same time even if not holdŽem player, yet still enough competition between sites. This could happen if Party merges two or three mid-sized sites to them and Stars would merge one mid-sized site to them. And then third site - "the challenger", which would average about 8000 players a day (current Full Tilt and Ongame combined).

Whats your opinion?

Noob, don't you know No limit texas hold em is the only true form of poker? It's the only game where you play the player instead of the cards.

Personally I wonder why no site offers some of these home games. Pros have a much smaller edge so long term more of the fishes money goes to the site as rake.
