Its also kind of unfortunate that you should be making more imo (due to cheating, being forced to trust the sites and this situation more than what is appropriate and the ongoing? legislative situation).
We've been screwed for years as USA players. I don't see justification for fighting to keep this situation going. Great players who can afford to do so are spending time in other countries to play on pokerstars, etc. and/or playing on legalized and regulated sites from the handful of legalized and regulated regions within our country. Why?
whos fighting to keep anything going? all i see is people running a tweeting campaign to try to get Pokerstars back - not much energy needed to do that. and why are you saying its unfortunate people have to deal with this? WHAT IS YOUR STAKE IN OTHER PEOPLES DECISIONS lol. I dont understand why youre so stressed out and invested in something that is completely out of your hands
Poker has been like this for 8 years now - all the observations have been made - sites came and went - players came and went. IT IS WHAT IT IS. you try it and if you dont like it you move on, but for a few people they just hang around trying to 'educate' and bring 'awareness' to issues no one gives a crap about. IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE I TELL YOU! lol
if you want to worry about stuff thats out of your hands there are bigger issues out there. Let me list a few so you can check them out:
1. The US dollar is based on credit . Credit is not based on anything (gold,silver,etc- so its basically imaginary money) and has led to every country in the world being in massive 'debt' which will never be paid off and lead to a collapse of the global financial system the second people realize how little value the dollar really has. Right now the value anything has is what we place on it (or rather, what were told to place on it) - in effect everything is really worthless, its just a matter of enough people agreeing it is
2. China is funding Airports/Harbors/Train stations all over the world in their Silk and Road initiative. They are providing loans to the host country's for these projects KNOWING FULL WELL that when it comes time to get their money back , the host country will not be able to. This means that china will then claim the airports/rail/ and other ports as a means of payment. China is about to take over half the world without a single shot being fired lol. Thats some genius level sht!
3. Having a choice between 2 political partys and 10 brands of cereal is not freedom. So what is freedom really? Ponder that for a bit
Just those 3 topics are infinatly more important than any poker game. I recommend you focus your energy on those rather than this.
