Re: Tables different on Party vs Skins
it's not like they have a huge overhead or lots of costs involved.
When I signed-up on Stars (first time I had ever played) in Feb, 2003 I was AMAZED that they had up to 1,500 players during weekend peak hours.
AMAZING!!
They were probably not losing that much money even then (and perhaps were even profitable even as small as that).
Lots of live poker-rooms survive with 10 tables or fewer.
Even allowing for whatever percentage the skins still have to give back to Party I would think that these sites can still be profitable with very few players.
You cut the numbers of players these skins get down to 25%...and it might still be more than what they had a little over 2 years ago.
In short - a site does NOT need over 10k players to be profitable.
