The cash games seem to have the same foreign players as before, so I am thinking that this is a new portal for the same network.
I'm guessing you don't understand the concept of networks and skins.
Revolution is a network. Al Revolution skins share the same software, player pool, and game structures.
Merge is a network. All Merge skins share the same software, player pool, and game structures.
Where the skins typically distinguish themselves from one another is with promotions.
So wait... Cake went to Revolution... folded up shop and shipped you guys off to Juicy Steaks? WTF.... I'd be livid!
Cake the skin didn't go anywhere. Cake the network was bought by Lock and renamed Revolution. Unlike on Merge, Revolution skins are more autonomous when it comes to how they're operated, they have their own cashiers and payment processors, etc. Apparently Cake decided to drop out of the US market and transfer US players to another skin on the network. As far as Intertops, my understanding is they still allow US players who already had accounts to play there, but won't allow new US players.
