I have decided to make a living poker will if the U.S. decides to stop allowing U.S. citizens to participate in playing on-line poker (Real $$ Games). Below I have listed my poker assets and how I would like them distributed.
Islandjack; I leave $15.00 from FT account and 1500 BRM points. jovicakralj; I leave $15.00 from FT account and 1500 BRM points. BMWman; I leave $15.00 from FT account and 1500 BRM points. p0ck3tr0ck3t; I leave $15.00 from FT account and 1500 BRM points.
I know it's not much, but it's what I've accumulated in my 6 months of poker. So if the United States of Dictatorships does not allow me to play any longer this is how my poker belongings will be distributed.

Nah! This is just how it will have to be if the U>S> stops us from playing! I'll watch daily, but if I can't play any longer I'll give those few poker assets away! lol

Only 1 problem, you are not able to move any $ that you have on FT around. Spoke to 1 guy who requested a cash out last night (US player), normally a CO there is fairly instant he got an email saying cashout refused.. However you could try purchasing some golballs from FT, or a nice necklase for the lady!

Mean to tell me I can't even transfer my $$ to another account at this time! I'm so disappointed with this whole scenario that I would like to drive some golfballs right up the U.S. governments azz for attempting to ruin the U.S. citizens poker playing. Of all the things they (U.S. Gov.) could be resolving they choose the easiest items to take from good people. They need to look at theirselves!

Wow man. Hope you not leaving this site. Or the other site. Be nice to still hear your input on matters. Hope things work out for my American friends and online poker. Thanks for the very kind thought Green. Wish you well my friend. Play live games. Your only option at this point right now...

Ha ha, Poker will that's a good idea. I may not be a US citizen but I feel your pain. If such a large nation bans online poker others may follow siting the US as a precident. And seeing as we're so close we may be next. I hope not though.

LOL Mate, you kill me....I really hope that all this indiction crap for USA players is over soon and before you know it, we will be hearing about your glorious wins and disgusting bad beats again!
For now, maybe it is time to relax and catch up on other stuff that you have not been doing or missed out in life....take it as a poker break.

I'm was thinking, and I'm probably way off, but what happens to all the american money that can't be moved now, on these sites? Does FTP and the others get to keep it, or what? Then this could be, at least in the short run, quite a nice affair for them. Although, off course, it will not be in the long run.
Or is there a list where you can sign up if you wan't a part of it? (Greenmohaves has already been distriubuted, but the rest? Must be quite a chunk...)
Well, in short. Does anybody know what will happen to the money?
