Anyone know how many new multi-table tournament players sign up with FullTilt each day? (or month/year w/e)

Also, how many individual turney players are there currently?

Does someone keep stats for things like this? Interesting.

350

i don't know anywhere that does it, but a site like OPR could figure it out.

try google trends

I can't find that information detailed on OPR, but here's some data points that might help us hone in on it...


OPR Rankings (tab on top right)

Year 2010: 1,003,253 mtt players (with over 30 results, which presumably should help weed out ppl who've switched accounts)

Year 2009: 819,387 mtt players w/>30 results


OPR Profit Rankings (what's the difference???)

Year 2010: 232,692

Year 2009: 200,897


So we might extrapolate either 32K or 180K new players per year (def need to figure out whether to use "OPR Rankings" or "Profit Rankings"...)

Hence 32K/365 = 87per day (OR) 180K/365 = 493per day


This way of calculating doesn't tell about cash game players deciding to take a few stabs, nor about turney players that move to cash games, but its probably safe to roughly net those to zero. It also overcounts b/c some players bust and never come back, but i presume that's not too many either.


Does this seem reasonable? Thots?

Did a couple searches for "Poker Players" and "Full Tilt"... came up with nothing relevant. Good idea tho.

ironically you might be pretty close monster
