- The blame for an anemic gain of 0.6% in global cash game traffic this week can be laid at PokerStars’ door. The market leader dropped 7%, cancelling out the gains achieved by the rest of the world’s poker rooms.
- The market remains almost 5% below its post-Summer high, and the six month graph shows that the recovery from the seasonal low is faltering.
- That said, the rest of the global market poker rooms generally had a good week, as did the European markets and New Jersey—only Nevada let the side down, with WSOP Nevada leading the way down with a 10% drop.
- Full Tilt enjoyed a moment in the sun, briefly occupying third place in the global cash game rankings before dropping back as the effects of its Easy Bonus promotion begin to wear off.
