Actually, much as it pains me to do so, I feel I must be scrupulously fair here.
I think that what tk1133 imagines will happen is that the US will 'regulate' on line poker and all the sites will magically relocate to the US and voluntarily place themselves under US control.
What that would mean is that a lot of their activities would fall under US law which is a lot easier for US citizens to access than Isle of Mann law.
Of course, I may be ascribing him waaaay to much inteligence here and he may just believe that US regulation is some sort of machina ex deus.
Or my other theory may be correct - that he has figured out some angle he can shoot to make money out of such regulation - lord knows how, though.
