Make a list of the major poker rooms and divide them into big countries and small countries. Imagine that my thesis is right and that the big country sites ban US players, and the small country sites allow them. What will happen to the games? You can speculate about that as well as I can, but the likely answer is chaos in the near term with things settling down a bit in the medium term.

Not under this current legislation, IMO.

Also in your opinion what kind of time frame are we looking at for major shake ups in the industry to occur such as sites blocking us customres etc?
