Depends on who you are. For a breakeven player who relies on rakeback for a living, this is catastrophic news (though in the long run perhaps such a player will now be motivated to learn to really win at poker.) For a decent player, this could be quite positive.

You get less money now. This will be a good thing. Can you see why?

Will the pollyannaffiliates please step up to the microphone and enlighten us poor unfortunate Stupid People why we should be happy?

It's great for me... I play on Party and earn 0% rakeback and make my poker money the traditional by winning it.

Less multi-tabling TAG on skins = thousands more $ in my pocket.

Well, for one thing, right now on Party it says "34,400 players on 4,520 tables". In a few days, when all of the 10-tabling 2+2'ers transfer their funds over to Party, you'll see "81,523 players on 10,256 tables".

The 800 pound gorilla has been dismantled. There will be tons of players willing to look for a new poker home and sites offering us more deals to lure us?

I would have thought we would have already seen decreases in rake already, but instead it has been the opposite. So no I don't think there is reason to believe this will be a good thing.

There is that possibility though.
