I got those from pokerpulse.

I admit I didn't include tourneys, which is actually probably a similar number, and I haven't read their selection methods.

Buster's 5% is starting to look better to be honest.

On 2+2 you can find from "Who's online" the number of registered and unregistered users.

ok, thanks. i think pokerpulse is confusing but i have not really given it a long look.

Just looked again.

Tourney players is a little higher than ring players, so for the third time this week, I suck.

Then take into account the number of people who read here, but to be honest aren't the greatest players in the world or are just starting out. I do think that Busters 5% is a very optimistic number.

If you stick to the #RP figure for each site, that's the number of ring game players at the time that you look.

All the rest becomes easy if you start with that one.

At the time of this post:

574 people reading 2+2
14578 ring game seats occupied at Party/Skins
18936 tourney game seats occupied at Party/Skins.

We could debate all night about the average tables/player but I think around 2 is fair, as even many casual players play 2 tables.

This doesn't fall massively short of the 5% figure, but of course not all 2+2ers play Party.

Dare I ask what the first two times were?

As I posted a couple of days back, there are already more people registered at 2+2 than play on Party at prime time.

How many of those users are still active, and when is the last time we had 65k users logged on at the same time here at 2+2?

We are still a small fraction of poker base, however, it is possible that the 2+2 community might be growing faster (percentage wise) than some of the larger sites now. I have no idea what the numbers are so I can't say.

As of now (7 PM Eastern), we have 560 people on the site.

Note that these numbers include a large percentage of non-registered people.

One was a skewed sample of people that I know who have stopped watching poker on tv compared to those who started (Although a lot of people started again last night after a few IM's got sent) [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

The other was thinking that it was just one Prima skin running the channel 226 live show games.

Edit: I'll go back to researching and thinking before I post, it worked better that way.
