    Every time I hear this statement I think about all the other countries that are free to play a card game. There is a CARD GAME illegal in the Land of the FREE! tm.

    Yes... I miss late night FTP grind and abusing noobs deep in Midnight Madness (after i got pwnt in 30r's and 163fos) I miss stars 20cubed, and stars endgame. And most of all, the overwhelming selection of MTTs on both sites combined with so many 20k+ prize pools erry day. It is really withering having to grind small fields for small amounts of money )-:

    Yes! I miss running like God on Stars since I certainly I didn't win because of my exceptionally stellar play. I had downswings on Stars but they lasted one month at most and didn't happen that often. With the exception of October I've run worse than a 3 legged dog on a icy road on grand and wonderful Merge.

    I really miss the $12 180s and the pokerstars Women's Sunday $55 with a 10K guarantee which I final tabled 2 of the 3 times it ran after they started it back up and where I had the extreme delight of knocking out the beautiful Liv Boeree for a bounty as big as the buy in (thinly veiled brag) and where I had the pleasure of playing with the other Stars female pros.

    I miss 2 day cash outs the most, click button, fill in amount, get charged nothing, 2 days later money is in account.

    I miss all the 90KOs on FTP too, damn that was a fun game! I miss Rush tournaments on demand too. I miss new seasons of Poker After Dark and High Stakes Poker. I even miss PokerStars and Full Tilt commercials.

    I miss mistakenly thinking I live in the land of free and I hate having found out that I don't.

    Lol pretty much this. Is it bad that when I hear a news anchor mention black friday i look up at the screen hoping to hear poker news? Then I remember we're at the stupid holiday season with the other black friday.

    And yes I miss real poker sites and yes merge sucks.

    Differing views on whether the Chinese or French invented poker, but the internet was obviously invented by Al Gore.

    It's not so much grinding merge that tilts me but that we have to wait around 30 days to get cashouts while pre bf I'd always get my funds within 4 days. Also I really hate the idea of paying up to 15% vig and give my bank acct info to someone to get a wire even if they have a really good rep. At this point I'd be happy to grind on any site they have to offer post legislation as long as it can be like the good old days of fast cashouts.

    Black friday is the day after thanksgiving. Think of an original name for this day for this like Unindependence day, or April-u-fools day.

    Black friday not only affected the USA, but as a Canadian player I also was highly affected, having my almost entire networth on Ub at the time, and still have yet to get any of it back.

    Also we were affect by the player pools dropping dramatically and the fish drying up.

    Not trying to be a smart butt or anything but it did hit us hard too, just not as hard.

    Im sure Fulltils Black friday hit everyone just as hard equally as of right now.
