fun from another forum:

Does this mean I am not going to get my platinum star? I only need 100 more pts.


From donkdown: The saddest thing about today is that the 2 people who work in the Full Tilt Customer Service Department have probably lost their jobs.


Dealing with the US government is as much fun as getting raped by a grizzly bear.

Hustler Casino launched its own online gaming site on the same day federal authorities indicted

"F" Larry Flynt and the wheelchair he rode in on.


a lot of people going to suffer tonight with withdrawal symptoms, the banana industry should skyrocket.

They kindly ask that you bring in your own jars and piggy banks of pennies until they are equipped to handle this kind of action!

Whats ironic about this, is that I quit a month or so before all this happened due to me going to Europe soon. So sick.

in bolivia ok


I'm guessing all the people who rushed to insta cash out without looking at the info we have available are the same people who open shove their stacks in whenever the pots get big and they panic?

Tom Dwan would not do well in the Pen.
Just a thought.
Phil Ivey, however, would be gangsta on the range.

on a semi related note, buying gold now is just retarded at current prices
So the debate begins.

Will the games be softer, or tougher now?

My vote: softer. What say you.

US players make up a vast majoroty of online players and as a result have the most fish. I say they will get tougher.
I'll still be playing. Softer means it will take longer for me to lose, right?

They also have the most grinders/pros by this same statement. With all of those people paying for law school via internet poker now looking for a job at the 7-11, there should be a higher fish ratio maybe?
westside8;264311 wroteNeed to play more Euro friendly schedule now!
yeah, I hear that...that stupid awake at 4am to get some decent games in kinda schedule...I was doing that with Betfair and it sucked..hence my move to playnow and back to Merge again.
I wonder what this does to the WSOP turnout this year... Less satellite entries to the main event, but players with cash will still flock to Vegas and the smaller $1k, $1.5k and $2.5k events will still fill up.

God, I hope so.
I am curious what will happen with the SCOOP events...they have already announced guaranteed prize pools. Will there be mass overlay or will they find their small print and lower the guarantees?
Just an FYI for people trying to withdraw from FTP. I was getting the "unable to connect to server" error when trying to do anything in the cashier (deposit, withdraw, etc...)

After some experimentation, I believe this is a regional/IP number thing. In order to do load balancing FTP has a number of different banking servers and I believe some of them are still online which is why some people have no issues with withdrawals.

I used a VPN to test IP numbers from Chicago, Dallas and Seattle. The Seattle IP worked for me where as the others (including my Toronto IP) did not.

So, it would seem that the west coast servers are still online.

If you have the means, get a west coast IP (via VPN) and give it a try.

Hope that helps someone.

-----
Small update...I was mistaken the IP that worked was from Washington DC (I thought it was Washington state). So a DC area IP might do it.
All FTP guarantees cut in half or less, stars doing similar things
Not going to overreact yet, but will monitor poker scout as well as see whether the big weekly tournaments will have their guaranteed lowered (Sunday Million, Sunday 750K, etc)
I'd give like 20:1 that they'll be lowered this sunday.
any americans out there wanna buy a Canadian address ??? lol only a small fee.
darbday;264301 wrotea poker stars splash came up and said my monies are safe, so there safe now...................................right ???
I just cashed out all my money! The only poker site I have money left is PartyPoker. It looks like the $400 million+ that the US DOJ extorted from PartyPoker and its former owner Anurag Dikshit may finally pay off....

more cliffs notes from other forum thread on this issue:


Oh that's just great, the play chip tables are gonna become unbeatable now.

partypoker: i told u so

The internet porn sites are probably wondering why they are getting so many hits tonight

Oh well, at least Isildur won't go busto so fast in the future.


Hi Folks,

Here in Japan we had our own disaster a bit more than a month ago. The quake / tsunami and nuclear issue obviously worse than the poker news today. But I would like to make a point:
Take all the news you read with a grain of salt. Don't believe everything you read.Definitely not in the mainstream news. When it comes to Japan news: The mainstream media didn't hesitate a second to fear monger, exaggerate, start/spread false rumors. They would do anything to generate a few extra cents in advertising revenue.

Based on what's out there so far: I estimate this tread to be a better source of info than most news stories. Obviously one has to ignore the occasional troll.


^^^^You trying to spark a debate?

In b4 Ivey creates a tobbaco company with the billions of cigars he's going to win while in jail
