Death of the \'Big 4\'
 

According to www.PokerPulse.com, Prima poker has passed UB to move into the #4 spot. And unlike the last time this happened when Pacific did it, Prima looks to be much more solid by the numbers. So, do we have a Big 5 now? To be fair, the most correct way to say it is probably something like "2nd 4" (Since Party is bigger than the next 4 put together) but that just sounds dumb. Thoughts?

Re: Death of the \'Big 4\'
 

Poker Room and Pacific are also equal to or surpassing UB in player numbers. Looks like the"big four" is turning into the "big 7." More accurately, it looks like Party and Stars are turning into the Big 2, with the others in a close tie for third.....

I predict that in a year, pokerchamps will be 2nd only to party in numbers, and I think eventually will become the number one site.

While their tourney numbers are comparable, their ring #s still fall noticeably short of the bottom of the top 5 sites. UB has 35-40% more ring action than Pacific. But yes, the sites closing together some.

Unless you are being sarcastic, or I am thinking of another site(Gus Hansen), care to put a dollar amount on that prediction?

PChamps may be the last new site with a chance to "make it" but I think saying they'll be #2 in a year, is a bit of a bold statement. In fact, if they crack the top 5 I'd be quite surprised. Care to make a little $100 wager on this? (I need to recoup my losses from when Bubs beat my ass w/that Party/Stars bet.)

I'll give even money at top 5, and 2.5-1 on top 2. Let me know which you're interested in, and we'll lay out some ground rules.
