UK / Non-American Poker Pros

[ACW]

I can see one benefit. On sites like VC, the fixed payout freerolls should have fewer players if the americans disappear.... Also sites like Ladbrokes which only accept European players could grow if some of the global sites fall.

I think the real issue here though is how this plays out in the public perception. Will the wife of a typical fish, who loses 100 quid a month, start to panic that her husband might be breaking the law because she's seen it on TV or read it in the Daily Mail... Will Mr. G.B. Fish stop playing?
