World\'s Largest Poker Room!
 

Party proudly displays a big goofy

"World's Largest Poker Room!"

in their lobby, and this same sentiment seems to be a major focus of their TV and radio advertising as well.

Considering Pokerstars is coming very close to surpassing them, and also considering the future potential for Pokerstars to move well ahead of them, I have to wonder if we will see a change in these claims. I mean, if I owned Pokerstars, I'd be putting "World's Largest Poker Room" all over my site the week that it happens. Probably will be undisputed by January.

What is Party gonna do?

why will stars be the undisputed largest poker room by january?

Re: World\'s Largest Poker Room!
 

Of course I am only speculating, but here are some of my reasons for believing this...

1) Since the Party split, the two have become very close in terms of players with less than 3000 players separating the two at times. In the Past, pokerstars has grown at a higher rate than Party, and there is little reason to believe that this will not continue.

2) Pokerstars is going to implement a reward program for high volume players which will lure many players from that site

3) The lobby ugrade described by Lee Jones in the 'Dear Lee jones' thread will please many former party players and stars will capture some players this way. Most likely, tournamnet players who were finding the cumbersome to multitable given the poor interface. Similarly if they do eventually implement draw software. This would steal players from UB and FT

4) January will be what it usually is... A fish drainer. They will all have spent their extra cash on christmas presents and Party will likely lose more players from this than stars will.

It won't be that soon, but it's gonna happen. A lot will depend on Stars' new VIP program that Lee is talking about.

This point is completely without merit. How will Party lose more players than Stars due x-mas spending? Do you think Stars players don't celebrate x-mas? Do Christians only play at Party? Or do you think all of the Stars players are atheists? I also disagree about January being a down month. It was one of my biggest this year. Once the weather gets cold, many of the fish that spent the summer watching their children play baseball will be inside. Online poker is great way for them spend a cold day inside.

Why do people spend so much time and energy hating on Party Poker?

If you hate them so much, why not just not play there and STFU about it?

Re: World\'s Largest Poker Room!
 

WTF? You expect the Ad Claim Police to go knocking on Party's door?

Re: World\'s Largest Poker Room!
 

Christmas is actually a pretty secular holiday, at least as far as giving gifts goes. Atheists give Christmas presents all the time. (This really does serve to reinforce yr overall point though.)

I am an Atheist and I have NEVER given anyone an X-Mas gift. Never have, never will.

I'm guessing he means Party players are more likely to need to deposit money (which they won't have due to Christmas) while Stars players will have thier bankroll already on the site (in other words, Party has more fish)

Re: World\'s Largest Poker Room!
 

how does a site consider prove itself that it is the largest? # of accounts or average number of users logged on throughout the day?

How about a Festivus gift?

Re: World\'s Largest Poker Room!
 

This is probably the reason party allows 10-tabling now. It beefs up their players figure in the lobby.

Actually, I think they when to 10 tables to generate more rake and keep hardcore multi-tablers from having to play at Party and another site at the same time.

However, I'm sure that as more Party players experiment with playing 5-10 tables, Party's player count will increase.

Basically, the 10 table feature will inflate the player count, but I doubt that was the primart reason decided to allow 10 tables per player.

Re: World\'s Largest Poker Room!
 

When they were largest Paradise used to call itself World's Largest. When Party zoomed past them the changed to World's Premier Poker Room [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Either was they (Paradise) would be a great case study for the marketing textbooks on how to totally screw things up.

Actually, I think it just beefs the active tables figure. They still count 1 player as 1 player, and stars does the same. I could be wrong.

Probably the one that gives them the higher numbers than other sites.

Re: World\'s Largest Poker Room!
 

i always thought the player count was players logged on. if they count every taken seat at a table then they are retarded.

Re: World\'s Largest Poker Room!
 

Yes, it is players logged on. Party isn't counting multi tablers twice anymore like they would obviously have to in the past when you had to 8 table using the skins.

Re: World\'s Largest Poker Room!
 

I never really read the lee jones thread but it is pretty interesting. IMO, if party didn't have so many fish stars would be the biggest poker room. it's my favorite and the only reason I don't play there is because of r_____ck and bonuses.

I believe it has been proved that the players number is simply seats being used. Although I might have killed that part of my brain with alcohol and be WAY off.

And I'm sure that party staff would never be monitoring star's site for traffic and just bump their own statistics by a couple 1000 to keep ahead to make the stock market believe no one can top them. Nooooooooooooooooooooo.
