Default Re: I can\'t believe Empire Poker is giving people their money!

[ QUOTE ]
Is TruePoker and GamesGrid going to completely collapse as well?
What about any other site that regularly has fewer than 1,000 players?

They likely will collapse, but I don't know that much about them.

My point was that poeple in general used Empire for RB purposes to play against party players, I don't think that generalization about the majority of their business (in terms of total rake not # of players) is unfair.

Therefore if they are to survive they are going to have to somehow switch tactics and attract "small site" type of people and try to build a new loyal base. I think this will be extremly difficult.

Also the other issue is the fact that when businesses go from being big to small in a hurry, especially when they are a publicly traded company it isn't exactly and easy adjustment, they usually fall pretty hard and I wouldn't be that surprised to see the people running it try to jump ship.
