How can you begrudge this? Let them hammer it out heads up. Where will you end up? Sounds like you still lean toward Ignition.
That is the way it was for a few years now with these two companies and it worked alright I suppose for what it is but now it's like Bodog/Ignition is completely clearing house trying to give up on poker altogether.

The noobs/recs alone won't keep enough games running because they don't start them and aren't going to play 3 and 4 handed that much so with no rake coming in what does that mean for the poker site? Some of these players that are left after the move to Ignition (traffic was dying before and has got worse every month) aren't on the network for 90% virtual casino play and 10% poker but it might have been 85% sports betting and 15% poker/casino when the sportsbook was hooked up to their accounts in the Bovada era.

Another problem is if all the people that do/did crush the cash games on Ignition go play on WPN do you think that makes games on that network that are already very reg infested any better? This latest change from Bodog/Ignition could make the games tougher over on WPN as well or it just means less people playing the game online in general which isn't good in a market that is declining little by little due to country regulations and more greed by the sites.

So besides these two networks we got Carbon (who kicked off a lot of big winners and continues to do it), Intertops, and BetOnline left.

Oh yeah lets not forget about SWC too lol

Perhaps a network would rather you bet sports or play virtual casino games but can't they just be happy running tons of tables taking $200 in rake off the bigger ones per hour?
