Party and Paradise

[kg99]

It's suprising how fast Paradise Poker has declined. It has lost all its traffic to Party. It seems everyone is playing at Party now. I bet the owners of Paradise Poker is pissed because their golden goose is getting slaughtered...

They deserve what happens to them. They have year after year refused to listen to the players. Even today, as they are running their 20.000$ guaranteed multi tourney, they have 10 minutes levels. A tournament with a 1st prize of 10.000$ and 10 minutes levels! After only 2 hours, the felt is down to 100 players from 1500 starting. they could just as well sell lottery tickets., but no, they know better. I wonder how soon they will be closing the agonizing business?

PartyPoker didn't take the traffic away from Paradise. Rather PartyPoker, PokerStars, UltimateBet and Ladbrokes have dramatically increased the size of the online poker market by a factor of about 6 times in 2003. Last I heard, Paradise is about the same size, maybe down a bit but really nothing compared to the amounts PartyPoker and others have grown.

Paradise may even be going into a revival with their launch of multi-table tournaments. We'll see what 2004 brings!!

Unfortunately you can't fix attitude.

Right now there's only 2 20/40, 0 15/30, no full 10/20, 2 full 5/10 going at Paradise right now, so I'm sure Paradise has lost some players, and most likely to Party Poker.
