As of today, PartyPoker has blocked me from playing.

Thanks, Congress.

I doubt a 17 year old lesbian is smart enough to count cards.

No, congress passed a bill making it illegal for online gambling.

That's a shame. Online poker is great, as long as you aren't playing for real money.

I love playing free and messing around. Every turn my friend went all in. He racked in over 100,000 on pure luck. Lost it as soon as he reached his mark. I was rolling because so many people were typing "Oh, he is so bluffing, I'ma call you" and then lost.

My buddy saw this coming and cashed out his bodog account this past month. He was up a couple grand. Not bad for casually playing and only starting with $300.

Are your winnings blocked out as well?

NO, congress made it illegal for banks to recieve or give money to online gambling sites... all the site has to do is set up its own bank basically or make a credit card for it and your back

*edit* i heard that you can no longer cash out also so your money is stuck or atleast thats what i heard about at partypoker

The accounts are still available (at least per the PP announcement).  I just can't place any new bets.

I'm actually surprised they blocked access entirely.  The way I understood the new rule, it wouldn't actually prohibit the bets, but only the transfer of the money to the sites.

There are so many things wrong with this law, from its substance to the method of enactment and all points inbetween.

I disliked Frist before - now I really dislike him.

Yeah, many sites are still up, and Pokerstars is apparently almost as soft as Party.  I may have to move over if nothing changes at Party.  Moving money to these sites is a real pain as it is, however, and I don't want to switch if I don't have to.

So for now I am practicing Omaha and 7-Stud with play money, which I needed to do anyway.

Whoa was I the only one that caught sporx's post?

Anyway that really does blow, personally I never even visited party poker but I'm sure that'll affect some of my friends that put time and money into it.

For after all what's man in nature? A central point in between nothing & all, infinitely far from understanding either.
