I am absolutely distraught right now... I JUST found out... was having trouble downloading the update for FTP, then opened up PS and the tourneys said something about US players, so I figured I might wanna check out 2p2 in case something bad happened, and here we are. I feel so upset right now, like literally teary-eyed. This is... horrible. I'm so depressed.

I think in that case we can make an exception.

What will happen for US players already reg'd in MTTs.

If your American & already reg'd in the Sunday 530 or the Sunday Million (or any other mtt), you reckon stars will auto un-reg you and refund the money to your account... or just let you blind out.

They might get one out of the 4000 made.. not going to threaten just annoy... all though i hope his house falls in on his family.. I wont say it to his face... maybe his children will get hit by a bus .. that would be exciting

Of course this is impossible to know, but the 4 sites named all used the same methods, and the others unaffected didnt

so basically youre saying..its very probably that out of all this a new site will rise from the ashes and stick to western union bs thus allowing US players to once again play?!?

In the last year, I can think of three dictators who have shut down Internet communications as a show of force. These dictators are now all out of power or severely threatened. Anyone see a similarity to the actions of the US attourney in arrogantly shutting down fulltiltpoker.com and pokerstars.com and taking away the freedom of Americans to play a game of which they are rightly proud as a country? Surely there must be redress against the US attorney for the damage to consumers resulting from his abuse of power?

id say the void will easily be replaced.

Bodog, cake ect. still exist and I believe that as long as using "harder" deposit methods are used they will probably still operate.

Again really who the **** knows anything for sure
