Sadly, Pokerstars and the other sites still accepting Americans will soon be leaving the US market. This is a fact and those of you in denial need to wake up and smell the coffe. It's all over.

PLEASE JUST LEAVE AND STOP POSTING YOUR UNHELPFUL DAMAGING OPINIONS!!!

Stop spreading gloom and doom over the forums with your totally unsubstantiated OPINIONS, chicken little.

Not agreeing with anyone, but, why is that when someone states their opinion on the coming doom of online poker he is treated like an embicile? Seems to me that when that person states something that another poster does not like, even though all the signs of it coming are there, the other poster calls him an idiot and even calls to have them banned in some cases. Seems to me to be a case of the "other poster" wanting it to not happen so bad that they get pissed at anyone who even suggests it could happen. Sort of closed minded and short sighted, dontcha tink? This post was NOT aimed at anyone in particular!

Because basically i've seen him in more than one thread screaming "Wake up people online poker is DEAD!"

Statements like these in muliple threads by the same person basically kill any constructive conversation.

[MicroBob]

yeah, I'm kind of sick of these people saying, "It's a FACT!"


I agree there's a real problem here. And everything MIGHT fall apart. Maybe even it's likely (although I don't think so).

But all this stuff like, "First Party...then Neteller...the US govt isn't going to stop people. It's a FACT" is just annoying.

Just my 2 cents, but for me, the issue is when people insist on stating opinions as fact. I am fine when someone says that they believe online poker (OP) is likely doomed and give valid, logical reasons for their belief. In alot of cases, people are posting that OP is definately doomed, which crosses the line from opinion to untruth.

Also, it is pointless to just post your belief that OP is doomed. It is interesting that someone has that opinion. My favorite color is red. That may also be interesting to some people. If you do not have meaningful information that will benefit others then why post on the topic at all.

For example, a post that says online poker may likely be doomed, and points out that people should explore various options (learn to play live games, etc) has some type of purpose. OTOH, posting that you know for a fact that online poker is doomed is pointless and is also very annoying.

I don't find that interesting.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

As stated above, it's because this particular toolbox is running into every thread stating the death of online poker as FACT when it's not even likely....in fact I think it's barely even plausible.

ok, I haven't read another single post of his.....got my answer.....carry on!
