So worst case scenario with banks still no biggie?

If this bill becomes law, online poker will cease to exist in the United States, whether you want to believe it or not.

You really believe WPEX is going to ban US players for fear of being arrested? Hell no. I doubt that they will be the only ones. Will=way. Money=will.

I also believe that many fish will continue to play, new fish will continue to come in. We all made it through the same process of wondering how legit this whole thing is, and slowly but surely the new work arounds will be tested and pass, the word will spread, poker will survive. A huge setback for sure, but I think it will survive in the US. Maybe misplaced optimism, but I don't see why anyone motivated to play wouldn't jump a couple hoops again, they have once already, before they fell in love with the game (or the action...these guys come back for sure).
