Look at it this way. Say a poker provider was established that was exactly the same as 888pl but all prize monies were double that on offer at 888pl.

Would you remain "loyal" or go for the bigger money?

No offence to anyone at 888pl, it is currently the best available.

other providers have offered more money than 888pl

i stay for the mates (including many of the TDs), and the professionalism.

Umm....WTF???

And, yeah, what benny the cunt said.

It's not always about the money, I would rather enjoy winning $100 than win $200 and hate every minute of it...
What?, poker without the river??, you've just made my dreams come true!!!

well I congratulate you on your loyality.

In the midst of MM last night a couple of players were discussing the NPL invasion into a couple of venues in a country area, if its the only game in town and you want to play poker, I think your going to play.

From acorns grow giant oak trees, the majority of players in the sticks are not overly concerned about the big games at the end of the season, this is evident from my own area where at some events you see less than 50% of eligible players attend.
Why is the question that should be asked, I dont have the answer.

Then stop and ask yourself why would a venue change from 1 provider to another, if your in a regional area and your numbers have deminished, its marginal as to wether it profitable or not, another provider pops up and offer them to keep a cheaper product that will allow them to retain the bulk of their player group, of course they will consider the change, because the various big games are of no real concern to them all they want is bums on seats.
42.7 percent of all statistics are made up on the spot.

For the new NPL to be sustainable and supply those prizes contiunously, they'd need numbers like 888PL get - and they won't. It's as simple as that. You can't keep offering things like that if the numbers don't pay for it.

You'd think that, but look at A.P.L.

They haven't been profitable in this state for years, but they are still hanging like a bad smell. The other states have been covering their prizepools for several seasons.

It all depends for much NPL is willing to invest. I think it'll will be laughable in the end though.

NPL representatives can feel free to reply to this thread.

I would also like to state that none of my comments have been slanderous or defamatory in any way and I am more than willing to discuss the NPL competition here, simply because a lot of confusion will reign with a minority of players.

What brought that on Garth?

Have you received feedback from NPL on this thread or something?
