Interesting discussion about the effect of Black Friday on the poker media, fellas. I got a little distracted when listening to that segment, so my apologies if this already came up, but I have a question along these lines. Many of the poker news sites operate on affiliate/rakeback income. (In fact, some sites seem to exist only to serve that purpose, and their media content is simply a means by which to draw traffic.)
Has anyone offered ballpark figures as to how much affiliate income comes from the three indicted sites? I see only Full Tilt on PokerRoad's rakeback section, for example. But how about the others?
Also, the discussion about the nitty pre-bubble/spewy post-bubble at the Florida WPT event got me thinking: with the reduced online poker in the U.S., the game has become less accessible to many players. Do you anticipate entities like the WPT to begin bringing the game to the people? That is, holding more qualifiers and satellites in local B&M card rooms. I could envision brick-and-mortar poker following the example of golf, with many smaller regional poker tours feeding into the "big leagues" that are the WSOP, the WPT and so forth.
