We know that the biggest payment processor and second biggest site are sticking around. We didn't know that a week ago.

I conclude that the impact on online poker will be tiny.

I actually think it will have a larger impact on live poker than online poker.

Effective. Online poker may continue,but will more difficult. Less advertising,tougher restrictions will destroy the current craze that makes poker flourish.

it's going to be very effective. so much so that my computer blew up before the ink on the bill even dried (evidentally the government put explosive cookies on my system to track my every move) - and my entire bank account was dropped to zero since 90% of the funds originated from poker.

sarcasm aside - i'm an optimist and feel that most fish will migrate from party to stars/ftp and the games will still be profitable. but as like all things, only time will tell (give it 6-12 months and you'll have your answer).

it will be mildly effective at best. It already has been somewhat effective before being signed. But down the road i see the effect fading and all of us going about our usual business.
