BTW Nick, I got $50 in my Poker Stars account... Before you say anything it is from last night's UB winnings.. a friend transferred for me

We should playa $5 HU match later for the hell of it, if I have a chance to play tonight...

BTW Fat Baby, it forces the skins to do their own marketing and not piggy back off of Party's which is where it was a wise move. Party got sick of people on their network saying they were playing at blah blah ... thsoe people signed up for that site and got the deposit bonus and moved on..

That being said, anythign that hurts partys skins... still hurts party ... they egt a percentage of what each skin makes - a hefty one I am sure..

75% of the players on other skins are from empire, which party tried to buyout unsucessfully - my guess is this is party putting the pressure on empire and empire will now sell for LESS then what they were offered as they see their revenues drop.. Guerilla War over at that company, smart SOB's

But... after that, their skins will dwindle leaving a very small network that will lose it's name over time ... And party will be the only one running that software

There are a ton of high stakes players that played on Party skins to get the rakeback. It sounds like some of them will be moving to places that will continue to give them rakeback. When you play $50-$200 Sit and Gos you definitely notice that a lot of regulars are missing. That just means there is less competition for me at the moment!

I would still think that playing on Party with unlimited fish would be better than playing on a smaller site with rakeback.

Ryan, I understand that train of thought, but if party does successfully push empire ( intertops, ect ) out and can buy them out, they will still be #1. PokerStars COULD be #1 if their affiliate program was worth a damn...

Empire has 'issues' on the affiliate side, and now that they can no longer claim that they have 70K players, I see their numbers dropping... actually I have seen them dropping in my stats over the past few weeks.

Miss Eve, other than a few top players, most players would do better bonus hunting than rackback. The average player does not generate enought to equal what they would get with bonus' if they would really stop and think about it.
