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.

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.

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.

to in this (not counting antarctica)

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

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!
