PRINTING MONEY : PartyPoker's Profits...

[memphis_aces]

I was thinking the other day about how much cash these poker sites must be raking in.... I was wondering HOW MUCH exactly.

Figured I'd do some rough analysis....

ASSUMPTIONS:
• You can get 40 hands per hour in without too much effort...it's low but we'll use it.
• Low Limit Tables can pull ~$100/hr in rake... Micros around $50/hr
• NL tables are capped so we'll assume $100/hr there as well.

Now... there are typically around 30k people playing there at any given time...that's about 3000 active tables (under assumption...but simplified for round number sake).

Figuring a mix of around 20% micro limit and 80% mid/upper/no limit, that puts the table split at 2400 tables earning $100/hr and 600 tables earning $50/hr

Overall by these calculations, Partypoker is raking around:
• $250,000 per HOUR, or
• $5 MILLION per day or
• $2 BILLION per year

I might have made some false assumptions here in which case, please correct me.... however, these numbers have to at least be CLOSE to accurate...no?
