Wow! just when i had solid MTT backing from one of the best backers on PTP; Now i can only stare at my fu%king monitor and try to figure out what to do with myself. Well i guess most of us here are in the same boat as i have cash mostly on Stars i need to recover. Finally got my hands on the cash i needed to hire a great coach and right out the blue im hit by the shit truck! Now we all are forced to play on Cake/Carbon ect with shitty tournaments and structures; Along with the fact that everyone is scared as hell "including me" to deposit money.
As you all should know or if you don't i live in New Orleans,LA, as this is not my home but ive been here 5 years now. I remember when i first arrived here and saw all the bodies and destruction. And now here it is 5 years later and everything is coming back; But it will never be the way it used to be before the storm. April 15 or 16th i forget but it doesn't really matter as we are all fucked right now; Was a reminder of what things are really important in life! Like the people in New Orleans we were warned that a storm was coming; But like most of us including myself decided not to prepare for the Hurricane Katrina of online poker!
The storm has come and the levy has broken POKERSTARS and FULLTILT has flooded and the D.O.J has taken over the city. During this time we will be lost and confused just as the people in New Orleans when they lost everything they had "AND NOBODY REALLY CARED." I know i was here when all the bullshit was going down. The shooting the looting the killing ect. Everyone was scared just like you and me are now; You have a feeling that all is lost online poker will never be the same. "Let's all move to Europe where it's legal" ect ect.
But what we all have to realize and this is just my opinion; "The water will dry up and go away" and things will appear to go back to normal! But we all will have to accept the fact that it will never be the same!
