I am an European player, so I apologize for any grammatical mistakes.
As I read the forum regarding recent gamling law which passed in the Senate, almost everyone agrees that it will still be possible to play poker online, but that fish won't try to find the loopholes.
Here are reasons why I think bad players will still play, if it will be possible:
1. Gambling online is illegal in Australia, but last time I played poker I played with a player from AUSTRALIA and I took him more than hundred dollars at NL25 (!). I never took so much money from one player at NL25.
2. I you make a living from playing poker, you play at high limits. Do you really think that also losing players at high limits won't try to find a way to still play poker? (And I am SURE that not all players who are posting on 2+2 forums are winning players, although almost everyone says so, lol).
3. Downloading movies is also illegal, but every 13-years old kid knows how to do that.
4. A big majority of players think they are winning players (or will be) on long term. So also bad players thinks he is or WILL BE making money. After all, you cannot be a winner at the most games in casino, but countless number of people are playing slots, roulette, blackjack etc... And they are playing ALTHOUGH they hear a voice somewhere back in their head that they cannot win, but they are still playing althoguh many of them lost a lot (!) of money.
5. So, if you think that YOU will be able to play, also bad players will play.
