How popular was LP?

Was Liquid Poker the 3rd biggest forum after 2P2 and Pocket Fives in its heyday?
Or it just seems that way because it was our bubble?
Where do we stand in poker history

That is a good question.

I feel like other countries (Russia for example) had some pretty large sites.

In my heart Liquid Poker is #2. I can't rationally say it was larger than 2p2. It was better than 2p2

It's hard to say.

Liquid Poker was popular among people who played Starcraft. Its heyday was when several good Starcraft players were also good at poker, and were traveling the world and interwebs promoting both games in one way or another.

Once those former Starcraft players stopped being good at poker, they went inactive from Liquid Poker and stopped any future poker players from knowing about this website.

It used to be super fun to watch and follow LP members as they played in many different big tournaments around the world, whether it was WPT, WSOP, large online buy-ins, or any of the other events. Luck eventually ran out for most of them, and the remaining people who were once good eventually left LP due to its inactivity.

It was pretty popular probably 3rd most popular English forum after 2p2 n pck5s

The russian poker community is very tight. A significant amount of mid-high stakes pro's in Russia know each other in real life. And they all share tools, strategies, and are pretty savey with the software.

Cant remember the guys name, but the midstakes pro who was a pokerstars pro/SNE interviews russian most poker pros. He's like the Joey Ingram of Russia.

They are the kings of poker software, they had solvers and rtas long before they were public, most of the seat scripts and the rest of the shady things were russian, I mean its widely known that they are kings of cracking and developing shady software.
