pokersitescoute shows them at less than 10k
which one is to be believed?
ongame has a ton of traffic for tournies and sit and goes. I dont know if there is a site that includes this into the figures not sure how you would either.

I believe that their ticker shows play money players as well, whereas pokersitescout is real money only. | | Static Link |

which one is to be believed? Pokersitescout is correct (or at least much more accurate), they don't count the freerollers or tourney players, only ring game players, so you get a truer figure of how a site is really doing. | | Static Link |

Also Party have made a huge recovery since they hit the bottom. W/E 19th november their average daily peak for the week was 5999, Stars had more than double that and Party had slipped behind FT in the rankings.
This week Party are averaging nearly 9000, with Stars just keeping ahead of the 12k mark.
By the end of February, Party will be number one again, the question is how high can Everest go, a site most people have barely heard of?

I play UB most of the time these days, but went back to AP last night to check out the action. Lots of $1/2 6 max limit tables going as usual. Played for a few hours. Observation: Lots of solid, aggresive play. Very few donks. Could have been because it was a midweek night or just the tables I was on. I noticed more passive play a month ago.
Overall it wasn't too different from UB, which seems to be getting worse lately. | | Static Link |

I think the free $10 might have something to do with it, which more sites should be doing right now IMO. That and give the players more no deposit bonuses! | | Static Link |

If you looking for a positive, most of the sites are still well above their pre-UIGEA levels. | | Static Link |
