I was watching Poker Superstars on FSN tonight and Party.net kept running an ad repeatedly. What's in in for them? Are they expecting to be able to reurn to the US market?

Everyone keeps saying that, but if Party Poker did prepay, why don't they resell it or something? Even getting half of what they paid would seem smarter than running advertisements to people who cannot be your customers.

They addressed this issue in their last quarterly conf call... they cancelled, sold, or shifted markets for all the prepaid advertising that they could... what they couldn't unload is whats left!
