It just looks like whatever it is they are doing it’s not the right thing.

Are live MTTs not booming??

Pre-covid numbers, you tell me if it’s better now

How is that correlated exactly?

Umm it’s not positive if that’s what you mean. Certainly doesn’t seem to be turning around a trend.

Falling since Black Friday. But that damn BBA damn near brought them all down.

My point was that BBA has nothing to do with it.

You are correct, it is not making anything better, just feeding into the spiral

I really don't think BBA has ANYTHING to do with the closure of poker rooms.

For sure. Adding to that, it takes a quick look at TD forum discussions between commercial operators to see that BBA can even be argued as marginally favourable given the popular opinion that anything that speeds up tournaments/makes them more efficient means players are busted faster and hit the cash tables sooner. Even if that effect is trivial, it's certainly no more trivial than any the effect that complaints about BBAs would have in the setting of the average poker room.

It makes no sense
