To be fair, TV poker was on UK terrestrial TV quite a bit before this boom, with Late Night Poker in the late 90s and early 00s on C4... It was better than this ITV stuff too :]

Never been as mainstream though. 11:30pm on ITV 5 days in a row

I would expect it to improve the numbers at euro peak times though rather than peak US times.

i'd be interested to see the viewing figures as LNP regularly pulled in 1M viewers, I can't see this show on ITV getting that many (I haven't actually seen it yet, though).

Also there was no internet poker in the late 90s.

Wasn't Planet Poker and a couple others around from ~97? I know that Stars & Party were both 2001, but there were definitely other sites around beforehand....

81k players - includes play $$ players for sure
BUT if I'm 4 tabling ring games do I get counted as 1 or 4 players in their totals.??
IOW is the 81k 81k log-ons or 81k seats taken???

I believe it's accounts logged in. So if you're 8-tabling, you're 2 players, not 8. Could be wrong.

If this is true then I've added 4 players to the total without playing a hand in like a week. I'd guess that the actual number of real money players was around 15-20k

So you think the average player is playing 4 tables?

As mentioned earlier the number of tables you have open has nothing to do with it, I have 4 skins open. I'm asssuming around 60k play money players and 10% pros (of the real money games) who have several skins open
