Trouble: Online poker web sites seized by the FBI (Stars + Tilt included) - Page 6 - Internet Poker

Funny, I can't register in anymore tournaments but am currently playing the beginning of a tournament I forgot I registered for a few hours. Might be the last tournament I play in for a longgggg while. With my luck I'll ship it and the government will take it.

**** you. It took hard work for me to be able to make a living from this game. Since you can't beat online (and use that it's rigged to stop yourself from facing the truth), you are the lazy (and stupid) one, ass hole.

Ban this clown already.

Put more work in poker than anything else in my life to get where I am today, and it was harder than all my college courses (Bacherlor's degree in Computer Science) to get to a solid winrate while 24-tabling. Anyone who says professional poker is for lazy people obviously doesn't understand 1/100th of what poker is all about.

LOLOL, the thought of Howard in handcuffs just makes me so happy. Oh well. Obama needed some money for the budget that 3 Billion will go nicely toward free prenatal care at Planned Parenthood.

I managed to be unlucky enough to get WU deposit info just BEFORE they blocked the buy chips button.

Went to WU and sent $400 to stars, get home to enter the MTCN and the buy chips button is suddenly blocked per my location.

I just tried to play on Poker Stars in PA and have $57 in my acct. It says due to government regulations I am not allowed to play in my area?

Tried my Full Tilt acct to see IF it worked? Was able to deposit $10.00 and it let me play A $6 HU 4 player game which I won the $24.00

Not sure how I am going to get my money off either site if Online Poker
is now a thing of the past in the USA?

Does anyone know?

I google searched and found this info below?

Please Advise?

So, yes this sucks. However, I think I'm probably thinking like most of us are now. How can I cashout without getting my funds locked up in limbo for weeks/months. Anyone have any clue what the best way to proceed is?
