This stuff happens all the time. People are not smart enough to limit their losses. When some default on their student loans and stop playing, others will come along. This may or may not lead to problems with government loan repayments, but if I know one thing, it is that the gvmt knows how to get money back, so I doubt there will be any problems with legislation because of this. But, everything is speculation and the antipoker advocates will use anything they can.
