The poker room and poker network rankings are based our observations of the real money hands and tournaments played in recent weeks. A #1 indicates the most active room/network. A room without a #1, #2 or #3 means PokerPulse does not estimate activity for that room/network.
The letters in the ranking have the following meaning:
PP in the rank column indicates the room/network is operated by and owned by a publicly traded company.
P in the rank column indicates the room/network is either operated by or owned by a publicly traded company.
Pp in the rank column indicates the room/network operator is a publicly traded company and some of the rooms on the network are owned by publicly traded companies.
