Another Ahead of the Curve: HUD

[Mempho]

I feel fairly certain that Party will ban HUDs (probably not PokerTracker though) such as PAHud and PV once they resolidify their player base. These stat-tracking programs just serve to break the fish faster and it means that money passes fewer times over the rake. I don't think that the high-volume, suboptimal customers will leave en masse over this issue either. As we have so often heard over the past two days, the TAGs go where the fish are.

Party is extremely market-savvy and this move was made this weekend because it is the best long-term proposition for Party. Party's market-savvy killed Paradise at the onset of the poker boom and Party will continue to thrive with or without us. Yes, we contribute massive amounts of rake. That money that we pay in rake, however, came from the accounts of other players. What is most important to a site like Party is the amount of new money that a player brings in to support the site's ecosystem.
