Here's what was in the tab today:

Some of those records are truly impressive.

Patti:

Maybe this is related to the economy in general. I was listening to a
Pokercast interview with Barry Greenstein over on the 2+2 web site.
Responding to a question, Barry commented that even the "Big Game"
played at the Bellagio has been drying up - there are fewer
"tourists" (and whales) playing in that game and it is harder than in
the past to get the game going. (I'm paraphrasing Barry's comments.)

I don't play on the internet - although I've been thinking about it -
so I don't really have a basis for judging this, but maybe the same
thing is going on with internet play as with the brick and mortars.
The last time I was in Tunica, (about a week and a half ago), business
appeared to be way down. I even talked with one of the casino
employees about this and she seemed pretty glum, blaming the reduced
floor traffic on high gas prices.

It sounds like people are worried and cutting back on their spending.
Maybe this is affecting play on the internet sites.
