The was the 13^th straight week that the top 4 spots remained unchanged.

Online poker traffic fell for the fourth straight week, losing another 1.6% as spring break season continued to take its toll. Once again the decline was broad, with eight of the top 10 sites and networks showing a loss for the week.

PokerSiteScout.com reports 2010 may be the slowest annual growth to date, though traffic was up 11 percent from this time last year.
