Yea pretty sick. Everything seems cool 1 day after this at FullTilt tho. Not even a single sign of all this is noticable. Yeah - there are far less fishes around the SNG tables during the "American primetime" but besides that everything works. I wonder when will things settle down completely.

[castor11]

I'm optimist. I think the future is good. ;)

i also feel that since friday games are getting a little bit harder. or just i got too much cooler:confused:

I guess these companies were not nearly as shcoked as we players were. They knew they went illegal after UIGEA so now that the legalisation details may soon start to be hammered out, and the govt is more than likely to try and make the most money possible out of a future regulation, it was time the feds acted so that they have something to... khk... "negotiate" with.

or just i got too much cooler:confused:

I think yes:) But I don't play any USA rooms:)

[CubFan]

All the advertising these Poker Companys have done on TV here in USA was just Shoving it in the Justice Depts. face!!! No wonder the Goverment is going to BURY Them and their owners!!!

[Mr. Pi]

I think its not a coinsidence that this whole thing happened on Friday. I think this was planned like this to maximize the PANIC effect amongst players.

Pretty sick but I think thats very possible,
Pi :)
