Serioiusly tho....take a poll at your next table and see how many players even know about imminent ban. It's shocking, but I'd venture to say 3/4 of them don't have a clue. And if your assumption is that Party is softer b/c everyones trying to get in their last bit of gamble, I'd disagree with you. I think the masses are clueless.

Work on that reading comprehension. His theory on why he notices the games being softer is because many of the people who do know about the ban and cashed out were serious players, leaving many of the recreational players who are not in the loop on things. Not anything having to do with people trying to get their "last gamble" in.

Just wait until all the US fish suddenely get locked out of their accounts. Pretty sure you wont think its the softest site out there anymore. And yes, I am bitter right now.

Everyone thinks Nostradamus is such a bigshot. I personally think that Douglas Adams has seen this coming years before anyone ever heard of online poker when he said "So long and thanks for all the fish"

Let's hope the pokersites tap into some fresh potential playerpools so we Europeans can Enjoy! a bit more [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

It will be about a year before any real actions are taken place.

Party Poker is dumb. I dont know why they want to close the accounts so fast. Just go to FUlltilt or other websites and play.

Also, all they are banning is the payment method. Simply open an offshore bank account and you'll be fine.

Besides Europe is producing more fish than ever now. Learn Omaha Hi/Low and Europeans will pay you off.

Cheers,
Nima

C'mon man, gimme a break. Polling a few random tables to get a feel for what kind of knowledge (or ignorance in this case) is floating around out there is hardly going to be the shark whistle that has all the fish vacating the ocean. Besides, I've already done it, and trust me, most folks on party haven't a clue the law even passed, no less that party will be locking them out in the near future.

First off, OP's post says absolutely nothing about why he thinks the games have gotten soft. A replyer posted the explanation you just gave, and frankly, you're blindly assuming (as I guess I was with my explanation) why the OPer thinks Party has gotten softer (if it even has). So my reading comprehension seems OK.
Secondly, I would argue that most(not all), but the majority, of people (2+2ers?) that withdrew there bankrolls from Party left at least a little on there to keep playing with b/c:
a) they know they have at least a week till pres signs bill to law, and
b) in all likelyhood, your problems are going to be actually playing on the site as an american, not cashing out the money you already have on there. Worst case scenario, you have to wait a few weeks for a check.
So, even if this is oper reasoning, I'm not so sure it's all that realistic.
