I think you should be slightly more optimistic. The fact a lot of movement occurred in 2017 gives me hope. You bring up great points however I feel a deal could possibly be completed in 2018. Who knows though honestly. Even if it doesn't pass, it's not horrible.
Playing against only ny residents is lame and there will be no massive player pool mtts. Until we get a bunch of states legalized and states joining networks, online poker for the us is going to be laughable compared to pre Black Friday.
