Sorry for the late post this week. My hard drive fried and I lost an entire day getting that replaced.
The online poker industry had a slow but positive week.
Everest must be doing something screwy (I’ll have to do more investigation on that) as their numbers have been whipsawing all over the place. They’ve been posting numbers like -7%, +20%, -17%, and this week +23%. Either they’ve got something happening in a key territory for them or their players are addicted to bonus offers.
UB gave up almost exactly what they gained the previous week so perhaps they weren’t bucking the trend as effectively as I thought.

Most of the rooms did well (combatively) on their big guarantees Sunday. Full Tilt Poker did their monthly bumping the $750K to $1 million which they covered. Party narrowed their overlay on the $300K and Stars hit $1.7 million on their $1 million guarantee.

Hi, my name is Bill Rini and this is my poker blog. I've been blogging about poker and the poker industry since around 2003-ish. Like most people I started out playing poker as entertainment in home games whenever we wanted to sit around and smoke cigars, drink beer, and eat pizza, and needed a good excuse. I started playing online shortly after the first online card rooms opened and it wasn't long before I was playing 20, 30, or even 40 hours a week or more. One day I received a phone call about a program manager position at Tiltware which was the company that consulted to Full Tilt Poker on software development and marketing. After Tiltware I spent about 2.5 years working at Party Poker where I was the poker room manager.
