Will On line Poker Traffic Increase Significantly In the Winter

#1 1st August 2009, 3:30 PM

Do you think that more people will be online again after the summer when it gets to September/October.
I've noticed a big decrease in the summer especially on the higher entry MTTs.
But is this just the time of year?

Remember a lot of people go on vacation and the children are out of school. Yes, I think it will increase starting the end of August and September.

I think traffic will increase in the winter, I know I'll be playing more.

Most definitely. Summer months are quiet due to weather, vacations etc. September onwards it should start to pick up again.

You need to remember that in those months 1/2 is having summer not winter.

September= all those kids returning to college. Lots of spare time to play.

I think it might increase a little but you also got to consider this half of the world will be in winter but the southern half will be in summer will it balance out maybe ,maybe not.

Yes, but compare the land in this

to in this (not counting antarctica)

And I don't think most of the online poker traffic comes from Australia, Argentina and Madagascar anyway.

I think more people will return to poker in the fall.
Bad weather=stay inside=online poker

I think it does increase, who wants to go out in the rain. I live in California so its always summer here it seems.

of course it will its cause people love being inside in the winter right now is the best time to play freerolls and mtt this still doesn't guarantee a win but the field would be considerably lower and in this case less is more

I would have thought the average level would be higher now as a higher percentage of the better players who make money are still going to be playing in the summer than the worse players, so it would be harder to win MTTs now.

Yes it will pick up a lot. Most players are in northern hemisphere, and now is heavy vacation time. Some 60% of gas sold in North America is sold in July and August -- peeps are on the road!

yes i think online actativety incresses in the winter bc it to dang cold to do any thing else

#16 3rd August 2009, 8:28 PM

Well the way the economy is and people that are jobless i would say it will raise everyday especially with the new people that are bored in the winter. Its good that more people are playing more money for us

Im think that is normal, because In winter the people preffer stay In home. And In summer the people travel more, so Is the normal proccess of the poker. I think so
