    I was going to post a pic, but someone used all of the pixels in the entire world right before me.

    I always wondered how long it would take for it to go one way or the other. Happened sooner than I thought, and the wrong way. Shows what the hell I know. That said, haven't really played in a long time anyway.
    bump.

    That's crazy, I hope the torrent sites aren't next. I owed full tilt like 700 bucks so I'm not too worried about them, but it still sucks.

    Can't tell you, as a small time recreational player, how much this angers me.

    Agreed. Tho the major sites are all shady. These charges are some very serious allegations. I haven't had any problems (tho most I ever withdrew was $3k) but many high stake players I have spoken to have in the past.

    Still hate it. It is ridiculous.

    As far as the blaming Obama goes, the UIGEA was passed by the Bush administration but went into effect recently. There are both democrats and republicans who are against/for online gambling, I don't think that this is partisan at all (my guess is, both want a bigger hand in the pockets of this multi-billion dollar industry).

    This is so not Obama. This was a Bush thing. He conveniently put it in some terror bill.


    And who is that hairy chested man with ESPN glasses?

    I think that it is poker pro Jason Mercier. Not 100% sure.

    Now Full Tilt has banned US play.

    And I can't even open the program (update to install which does not update).

    To make matters worse, my withdrawal request was declined.

    WHAT THE ****.

    If you keep your life's income in an online poker system's bank account... then I don't have much sympathy for you.
