OT: 81,000 players on party

[malo]

Multitabling may very well be a factor in Party's recent jump in player numbers.....won't argue that.

But keep in mind that large parts of the country have been hit by cold...and now very cold+snowy weather. In southern Missouri where I live, current windchill is 4 degrees and it is snowing. It's worse in Kansas City.

This may be business as usual up north, but it is unusally cold for us for mid-December. Probably a good chance that a long, cold winter in significant areas of the country could drive up poker room numbers at many rooms for the next 2-3 months.

In warmer weather, fish can often find other things to do besides play poker.....
