I'm sure most of you are familiar with current US legislature coming up for vote before the congress and senate. Namely HR4777. For those of you who are not: very simply if passed, it will ELIMINATE ALL online Poker playing! You will not be able to play poker online again!
The question is NOT "Do you want it to pass?", rather, "do you think it will pass?"

how will they stop it? how will they enforce this? I dont think they can, if minors can get ****, then adults should be able to gamble.

Most of the big online poker corporations are based outside of the USA, so they can still operate , it would just be illegal for a US citizen to participate... thank god i live in Canada :)

thats not the case. Think how it would be if all the sites couldnt function as much as they do because 75% of their customers moved.

Stars has 5.2 million registered, most in online poker, and about 50% of them are americans, prolly more
