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

Ironic that the washington state govt already forced me onto the most shady site, but I'm glad that I play on it right now, as they are the most likely to make this statement

Let's face it -- online poker in 2011 isn't all that fun anymore. From the games getting harder all the way down to the fact that it is so much tougher to deposit/withdraw.
If fully regulated U.S.-based sites eventually come from this, I will be very happy. I think you will see a huge influx of bad players, which will make the games more fun and easier to beat. Plus, nobody is going to have to worry anymore about getting in trouble for loading money on to a site, their bank accounts getting closed because they cashed out, etc.
People probably thought Party Poker leaving the U.S. market was the end for Americans, but sites like Full Tilt and PokerStars emerged. If those said sites leave as well, my guess down the line is there will be other places to play.

Great point, IF online poker is eventually legalized in the U.S.

Going to Aria to play $400-$800 mix just like I did over 10 years ago when I was a professional poker player. Save me a seat boys...
