WTF IS GOING ON?

when are we going to be able to play again?

Stuff.

Possibly in January.

Follow kevmath on twitter and be patient. Coming here will only tilt you more.

This answer is a bit misleading because it makes the assumption that the person asking the question lives outside of the US.

US players are going to have to wait for the laws to change before we can legally play online poker again. There's plenty of poker to be found at your local casinos though.

Meh, this is the FTP thread, not the Black Friday shuts down US online poker thread. I get your point though I guess.

Given the language of this ^ post it's safe to assume he's either American or Canadian so it's probably a mistake to assume he's a RoW player waiting for FTP to re-open for business. I'm not saying he's definitely American but given the language in the post I'd be surprised to find out otherwise.

Long time reader of this forum, however very seldom do I post.

This statement is pretty ridicolous EYESCREW.

I tend to agree with what you say in general but c'mon man.

1) There are Canadians in this world. Sorry to break it to you
2) Why can't he live in another country besides Canada or the USA and post like this?

Scratch that... It was my first post.

Agree, ridiculous baseless post by Eyescrew. wtf does someone's post have to do with his nationality is beyond me. Ignorance shining through.

Given the language of this ^ post it's safe to assume he's either American or Canadian so it's probably a mistake to assume he's a RoW player waiting for FTP to re-open for business.

He could live anywhere but with a screen name like "Big Kawk" and the language used in the post I think it's pretty safe to assume it's either an American or Canadian as I previously mentioned. Also, the wording suggests he's unable to play on any site, not just FTP. And yes I'm making assumptions but I'm going to stick with my read here.

I'll quote my previous post. Yes, I'm making an assumption but admitedtly so.

wrt bolded Hash is right but it can be a bit frustrating when you come in here admitting to making a very reasonable assumption based on the evidence at hand and people call you out on it. I realize what may seem reasonable or obvious to me may not seem reasonable or obvious to someone else. Taking that into consideration "Big KawK" could be the name of a Canadian Indian tribe but does it really seem likely?

lol at the pointless arguments ITT.

Diamond or Noah, what is your take on the $196,553,080 figure quoted by pokernews?? I have a feeling it's another error. blah

this

Canadians can play anywhere they want.

Based on your recent posts, I will make the assumption that you're <21 and will forgive the ignorance.

I think I posted this yesterday, but can't find the link right now...IMO the number itself is irrelevant and should have no bearing on the deal at hand. AFAIK, the GBT/FTP/DOJ agreements are full steam ahead. Hopefully within the next few days, we will have enough news to put all this speculation to rest.

yes please

is there a way i can only see what diamond or hoah are saying, I cant figue it out?

Masking tape over your screen.





No.

Yes....Subject Poker

I thank you for this information. I agree it is unlikely that various the reports of the actual amount seized and frozen by the DOJ would alter the progress of the agreements. I would expect the parties to the agreement to know all the true details even though they are not available to the public.

But I had to post to say that I do find it very interesting that every single original public report so far, both official and unofficial, has come up with different (and sometimes directly contradictory) amounts.

While some reports may just be wrong, it occurs to me that what is likely going on here is that everybody is using a different way of counting things and so until we can be sure everybody is using the same definitions, all these different numbers cannot really be compared.

Hopefully once a deal is struck and made public it will let us know both the numbers and the definitions used classify those numbers.

Skallagrim

It's a lot more frustrating for everyone else just coming to this thread for relevant updates to read your pointless speculation about the nationalities of people posting here. Especially when Canadians are free to play poker anywhere. Anyway, I'm not adding anything to the discussion so I'll stop; I'm just hoping this thread could remain largely free of irrelevant, uninformed, and inane posts.

FTP payback would be the greatest xmas gift I've ever received.

Its funny because at this point the triumph of actually getting my money back after the excrutiating past 6 months would mean more than the 5 figures I'm owed. Would be so epic!

cliffs on what happened today with Jesus, is it a good or bad thing?

<--- offended canadian. How dumb is that guy to lump Canadians and US players as the same.

wow dude. wake up
