if we cant deposit onto sites...

wont all the money on the sites eventually run out?

If we can't deposit onto sites, online poker in US is fubar.

Only if you are a losing player. Unfortunately all new revenues would have to come from non US players.

I plan on keeping my money in to be able to take all the euro fishies money.

Of course I doubt we will have difficulty getting money in and out, where there is money to be made....people will come up with solutions.

I'm not liking my chances of being a winning player if that would happen, that's for sure. Imagine the thousands of sharks that could still play, but the hundreds of thousands of fish that couldn't, not a good thought. Believe me, if that was the final outcome then games would surely become MUCH, MUCH, harder to beat.

not just losing players will lose money.

i mean look, lets say there is 1 million dollars total on a poker site. no more can get on. eventaully all the pros will beat the bad players. so theyre gone. Durring that whole time, theres rake taken, so now theres only 750,000 left online. Now the pros keep playing eachother, and the weaker of the pros go broke. but now theres only 500,000 left online because of the rake. and it just keeps going like that untill the rake eats up all the remaining money.

See what im getting at. if this really goes through and no one finds a way to fix it....ZOMG were all screwed.

yea u right they rake too much.
I was mad about the online game ban.
now i'm happy.
because, Law will protect us from blood sucking poker sites eventually.
I imagine what if they ran business with 1 cent per game commission( some people said It's still profitable) or without expanding to blackjack or [censored] machine casino.
The story might be little diffirent.
