According to, over the past two weeks, the network has lost approximately 19% of its traffic. The numbers overall for the Cake Poker Network show how much of an effect DoylesRoom had on its traffic. Once DoylesRoom departed on January 28th, however, the numbers took a dip to as low as 953 on February 6th. For much of the month of January, the peak number of cash game players hovered in the 1,200 to 1,400 range, with a high of 1,525 back on January 13th. On the other side of the coin, the Cake Poker Network – which features over 60 rooms, including Phil Laak’s Unabomber Poker, Only Poker, and its own eponymous poker site – saw its cash game numbers drop precipitously. This represents a 150% increase in peak players since the switchover occurred on January 28th. The Yatahay Network, which also counts True Poker and BetCRIS among its rooms, saw a jump from roughly a peak of 100 cash game players to nearly 250.
When DoylesRoom, the online poker outlet fronted by poker legend Doyle Brunson, departed the Cake Poker Network at the end of January, the effects were immediately felt.
The Cake Poker Network has shown a drop in player numbers, while the Yatahay Poker Network has seen a major boost, according to. The fallout continues to be felt in the online poker industry after the move of DoylesRoom.
