- A going away gift from Party to me
Since i had $200 pending for a cash out and online poker is not officially banned yet, I decided to take out $15 and play some PL omaha with it. I promised myself I would NOT use any practical judgement when it came to bankroll management :)

- US players and the port security bill
I think we are all overacting to this thing. We are all going to find some way to play or another. I guess maybe im just in a better situation than most, since im military i can request to go overseas and be fine with it.

- If you're planning to move from Party to Stars
Here are a few tips to make the transition easier:
Your avatar MUST be a close-up of an eye, or a dog or a baby
If you suffer a bad beat you MUST berate your nemisis, and if possible, follow him from table to table to continue berating him. (obviously this works in reverse too.)
If you are all...

Hey all, been a while since I posted, but these recent shenegans got me to poke my head out of my hole... Anyway, I came across this a few minutes ago and thought you all may find it interesting. My favorite quote is this:

Hello,

- Any Reaction from US Financial Institutions?
While it is probably too early to expect any, has anyone seen any reaction from US financial institutions on their willingness to deal with Neteller, etc?

- Is there anyone everyone surprised at our governement?
I have been following the whole online poker ban all summer and I have to say that I surprised that it happened like this. Outright stopping online gambling is bad enough, but adding the legislation to a port security bill is even worst. I have been reading a lot of different things and have been posting...

okay...I deposit my funds through a netteller account say...
how does any site know in which country I reside? If they don't ask, wouldn't they be fine--in other words, just make sure they are dealing with a financial institution not based in the US. Couldn't I just tell them I live at Guantanamo...
- Gambling Ban successfully attached to Port Security bill
This is in General Chat, but in case you missed it:
They managed to attach a stripped version of the online gambling ban into the port security bill. They took out the parts that would affect the Wire Act, so it probably won't have any effect... but we'll see. I'm looking forward to an interpretation...
