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?

Feds= bull in china shop!

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. . .

I guess the FBI is dropping in class to get a win to build self esteem. The War on Terror/Wallstreet Corruption/Internet Predators wasn't going so great so I guess the War on Poker players will give them their much needed victory.

The thing I find fustrating is that with the government having no money, instead of closing everything down and trying to lock people up, why not jump on board and get a free piece of the pie?

Math... 2 Words. Religious Right They will bitch and ****ing moan about deficits yet any novel idea (online gaming, legalization of pot) they find the need to protect us from ourselves.. Yet their ****ing Bingo games keep on keeping on. If I had the resources I would certainly leave this country becuase it has become a ****ing parody out of a South Park Script.
