Default Re: Deathwatch for Empire? (Sun noon and only 5k players 700 tables)

Empire is far from dead. 5000 players is an ample player base to remain profitable and grow for a long long time, even if it is shared with the skins remaining on the old network.

Planet poker is still around and has about 700 players tops.

Truepoker is still around and it is considered a "ghosttown."

Bugsys club mainly runs tournaments and has maybe 500 players at any given time.

There are a number of other small, non networked sites that have similar statistics which are still viable and offer a decent selection of games if you are willing to be flexible and loose the use of your pokertracker.

I think you seriously overestimate the operational costs of running an online poker room.

Don't forget Poker Mountain! At any given time they have at least 1 player, sometimes 2.
