The games have gotten tougher, so my winrate is lower, but at least I get to play poker.

It caused me to move to a site that I hate playing hold'em at,forcing me to get good at other games I was weak at.So yeah,I'd say it affected me in a very positive way.

why is this for US players only?


i think the games are a little tougher. because of this i have been trying to get a lot better. maybe this is a gift so then when the games are easier again i will have more of an edge.

id say in the SnGs i play ive lost around 20% of my skill edge since the bill was passed.

The law has affected me alot. I'm now taking crazier and riskier shots. Bankroll mangement is our the window. This is the due to the urge of trying to make as much money as I can before online poker is officialy gone. 20 buyins is my new rule whereas before it was 35 buyins.

I lost all my notes from Paradise, four years worth, and I no longer have a fish list.

My profits have gone waaaaaaay down as well.

Yea it has. Worked both ways, of course I dealt with the usual loss of sites, transfer hassles, etc. But it forced me to raise my playing levels and I have been rather successful. (went from .50/1 to 2/4 limit) Have actually made more money. Before I was building my bankroll but now I figure what the hell and will keep testing my abilities.

I moved from Party to Stars and Full tilt. I am playing, drinking, and working on my game more than ever.

I played PS, Party and Paradise before the bill was signed...Now I only play PS...

I also played Omaha PL, Omaha hi/lo PL and Holdem back in the old days (pre-online bill)....Now I only play Omaha hi PL..Ive found that's now a far superior option to the weak hi/lo stars games....

And NL holdem? Naaa..those games were great during THE BOOM..Now their so yesterdays game..

Omaha is where it's at for PL games these days...Got to be flexible...
