Default What risks to online poker should I consider as a Full-time SnG player

I'm a full-time pro-SnG player. My monthly income depends on poker. Since I'm a SnG player I need high-volume online casinos to play my game for enough $ to make a living.

I'm desperate to know what the risks are of my future business. So I hope somebody here can give me a kind of clear cut explanation of the current situation.

I've quitted playing "pro-poker" when the legislation bill got passed last year in Oktober. In the last year I've been focusing on day-trading/investing, but the revenues are obviously not comparable by any means to poker. So I was semi-forced to pick up poker again a few months back, and DELIGHTED to find out that there's still a high amount of players playing online.

But today I saw this post in the STT forum about "Fight for online poker"... which got me scared as hell. I'm totally not up to date with the current state of the Online Poker threat. I also dont understand what the posts mean. I'm from the Netherlands and its difficult to understand/picture USA law.

I beg anybody who knows more about the risks/legislation of Online Poker (USA as well as Europe/Netherlands) to give me a clear picture of the risk I take with having Online SnG Poker as my Full-time job. As you understand it's rather ehh critical hehe.

*crosses fingers* for a positive answer... I don't want to go back to 'poverty'! [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
