Incredible Shrinking Poker Rooms

The news is a few days old, but it's big in online poker. Party Poker, who shared the same pool of players with Empire Poker and three other sites (same games, different skins) have booted their four partners. Net.rumors are saying that this is a bad thing for online poker, and a lot of folks are jumping from sites like Empire to the larger crowd at Party, but after seeing Empire's crowd drop from 35,000+ down to it's current 8,433, I'm thinking that the guaranteed money freerolls will be a lot easier to see money in.
