Just out of interest, in the world of internet poker what is the split of total traffic cash vs MTT?
....and in respect of where sites get their rake from, what is that split cash vs MTT?
....and in turn, how does that compare in terms of £££ in incentives for cash vs MTT players?
I'd be surprised if any of the cash/STT/MTT player pools (as a whole) didn't get a pretty fair share out of incentives, based on what they put in through rake...

Hi Shaky,
As I explained last week, broadly speaking, the split across the industry generally is.....
Cash games 66%
MTT's 17%
SNG's 17%
Individual sites vary by a few % points, but that's about it really.
I'd prefer not to start discussing where the precise revenue comes from, but you get the drift.
I would think it unlikely that the promotional budget is split along similar lines though - it does not quite work like that.
It's a peculiar thing, but MTT's generate all the noise & razmatazz, despite being only one sixth of total activity. If you think about it, almost nobody discusses SNG's, & yet it is as big a portion as MTT's.
It's also easier to drive more cash traffic than it is to drive more MTT or SNG traffic.
Whatever we play, it never seems quite fair, does it?!
