I think destory is perhaps a little too strong. Depending on what happens it may set back poker in the States but it won't destroy online poker. There are enough players outside of the States to keep online poker profitable. There are for example 120,000+ people on pokerstars right now.

 

[PistonsFan00]

hmm can you still play real cash on pokerstars?

 

[Sanctum]

Yeah if your anywhere in the world except the US.

The online sites effectively said F.U to the U.S. Govt by finding loopholes to still operate. Was only a matter of time before something was done. I'd be ShOcKeD if stopped online poker in the U.S as there's too much money to be had, I think I read somewhere that they think they can get $4bil /year from poker taxes at an acceptable rate. They'll work something out, hopefully sooner rather than later

Maybe Sunday Million GTD will have alot less players........Maybe a good time to try and jag one
I think sites like PKR will be loving this as it evens out the playing field
