Reuters: Full Tilt Poker, Pokerstars and Absolute Poker charged with illegal gambling - Page 75 - Poker News

I logged in fulltilt 20 minutes ago in california sn-scurbdog playing 1c2c micros along with other people from US at table. Look me up if you don't believe me. What gives? why can I still play?

Yeah there seems to be alot of US players still playing real money so....?

general opinion seems to be split 50/50. I have such a large percentage of my liferoll on the sites that theres no way i can leave it on there, even tho it's probably +EV.

Just withdraw and hope u get it, after that dont turn back and run!

I have no idea if this is the best thing or not but I guess we'll see.

I did this three different times today. I eventually settled on leaving it cancelled for the night with a plan to reevaluate tomorrow.

If you're an American with money online, I would advise transferring it to a foreigner, for cash/paypal if possible.

Is Canada affected by this or is it as safe as the rest of the world and will continue to be serviced by PS and FTP?

Edit: lease ends at end of month, so I'm out of this garbage country.
Just trying to find the best destination possible while remaining relatively close to said garbage.

I wonder if it's still possible for U.S. players to 'register' for the Japan relief on Pstars... I may just send them my whole roll if it is, all play money now anyway.

Sadly, despite being a relatively savvy computer person, I can't get this to work. The changes to the file are not correcting the issue.

Not sure how this guy is a professor, but every appearance on TV and all his comments lead me to believe he is as qualified to be called a professor as Howard Lederer is.

Nit point, but he isn't a professor. There is a pretty big difference between being a lecturer and professor at Harvard.
