Online Poker Rooms Expect Storm to Boost Numbers

When big storms threaten online poker rooms look for a boost in their attendance numbers, and the Hurricane named Ike may serve this purpose this week as it leaves Cuba and heads for the Untied States. Southern Florida will be buffeted by windy and stormy conditions for a few days, and the online poker rooms will be paying attention to traffic at the same time as poker players are driven indoors. As long as the power holds on, the traffic is likely to go up; a severe power outage will have the opposite effect.
