IMO the majority of the online-poker-playing world *is* Christian. "And it's not even that close."

It's a holiday...holidays are usually pretty busy.


I think we had some similar Q's last year on Super Bowl Sunday and as I recall the poker-games picked up quite a bit as the game was winding down and people were coming back home (perhaps a bit plastered) from various Super Bowl parties.


On XMas...I can very much see the games will be pretty hoppin'...especially in the evening.
People don't spend the WHOLE freaking time bonding with their families.
And some people are buying new computers for XMas too and will want to try them out.


My hunch would be the same for New Year's Day. As people wake-up and recover from their New Year's eve hangovers they'll just be lounging about the house playing on the internet.


You'd be surprised at how crowded the live casinos get on Christmas night. People spend the day with their families...and then get bored and have nothing to do.

It's quite a busy day for the live casinos in Tunica, Mississippi where I play (not sure how crowded it is in Vegas...without a lot of tourists around I don't think they get too excessively crowded).


I'd be curious how many people out there are actually playing on New Year's Eve (which most certainly will not be including me).

I have this mental image of loners playing on Christmas day, blowing 200 bucks at 3/6 SH, realising they are unloved and life is futile, drinking a bottle of cheap scotch and then taking 100 extra strong pain-killers. I don't wanna be the guy taking their money that day, so I'll pass.

I was kinda hoping he'd blow more than $200 before killing himself. But if he brings enough people each throwing $200 my way I guess it's ok.

Good thing we celebrate christmas eve here in Sweden, so I can get quality time both with my family and with sad, lonely, drunk americans the following day.

Hey! I resent that. I only drink good scotch, not the cheap stuff!

I know my play will probably be up a little on New Years and down a little on Christmas. Up a lot on New Years if I can help it.
