Thank you to everyone who has posted. I was expecting to get flamed a little bit, but I appreciate everyone being honest and respectful of all of the other posters.

In terms of risk, I was thinking about family or career, more in the lines of losing my bankroll, IRS investigation ect... If they can go after banks and reputable online sites I guess there is a chance they could eventually come after players...who knows what type or records the DOJ is requesting. Also, as a CPA I can tell you that if you can not substantiate your losses to offset winings, or they feel that your winnings are understated...they will come after you...this would really only apply to the pros here that play for a living...not guys like me.

If this does turn from bad to worse the part that I'm going to really miss as a serious recreational player is being able to pull out a few hundred a week to splurge on stuff...that always felt good, but most of all I'm going to end up having to play in some low limit dumb mixed game at some buddies house once every 3 months where every other card is wild!!!

It's just really hard to see any good coming out of all of this. If Neteller literally droped the good ole USA in the matter of 12 hours without notice...I know they were planning on leaving...whats to say Stars won't follow suit anytime soon. Has anyone even heard from Lee? Honestly I doubt they even know whats going on.

Here's another thing I haven't really seen posted, but whats going to come of this wonderful board if the hammer falls? I bet all the authors have to be a little concerned because it seems that the majority of us who buy their books play online so when everyone says the fish tank is drying up, it's also drying up for the authors.

I just keeping of more to say but...did anyone notice that there were ZERO Full Tilt pros online yesterday? I got on about 8:30pm and there was nobody, usually you can find a least a handful...
