if all they did is seize fulltilt.com it'll just cut off new u.s. players signing on. i thought they would have cut off all access.

still...i have to assume the money i have on is going to be really hard to ever get off now.

Yes... I didn't sit at a table just logged in.

I just tried to download updated version and it stopped and asked me to try later. Fortunately I only have a little over $500,000.00 and 100% is play money.

Not sure how this hurts Full Tilt?

Wouldn't have been prudent for the Feds to alert players to drain their accounts prior to the shutdown?

maybe they'll collect any money held in US accounts and of course spend it more wisely than account holders.

As soon as they're done making lunches and searching the school children for food contraband.

Maybe this will be good for horse racing as some card players will come over and become full/part time players.

This is going to kill all the juicy live games. . .
