    Hadn't read any posts in awhile, noticed another series of hits to online poker. Really sucks for a lot of you.

    How zealous should one be to deposit funds on poker sites??

    Will certain falling out of US players be recouped by other countries? Haven't played online in quite some time, curious if there are a lot more foreign players now than last few years??

    Was kinda thinking that going to a bar full of guys is kind of a "sausage fest", will the lack of easier deposit options shrink games down to better players and create a "sausage fest" as well.

    I'd rather that someone call on the river cause their over cards still looked pretty and a raise and reraise on the river made them think for a sec' but they still called two other players.

    I still find that playing live.

    I would rather a "fish fest" vs. a "sausage fest".

    Harder to get laid at a sausage fest and harder to get paid at one tooo.

    One of the basics of this game was to try to sit at games that are profitable.

    Thoughts???

    A post from our beloved friend:

    This guy provided me some entertainment, but he makes a point.. a little anyway

    I have a few bucks in pokerstars. I probably won't be putting anymore in. I had a few bucks in Neteller, it is being withdrawn as we speak.

    I really have no incentive to jump through hoops to play you guys online. Grinders aren't fun. You were doing a passable job of killing the golden goose before all this happened. Now the government has caged the goose, and there are very few golden eggs left around.

    I will play out my pittance on Stars, mostly tournaments now, and when/if I go busto,.. so long online.

    You guys will enjoy trying to tear each other apart. Online poker is going to be real -ev real soon.

    I am wondering how many "winning" poker players came online from the B&M world, got picked clean by you multitabling grinders, then went crying to their elected officials about this awful rigged online poker. Could that have anything to do with the current troubles?

    I am sort of enjoying this. Although you didn't directly bring "THIS" onto your heads, you were all working hard toward it. The government just hastened the process.

    Welcome to the B&M world. Try playing live with 25 hands an hour and a 12% VIP.

    I made a lot of adjustments to my game.

    I did become better. One of the adjustments was to quit making videos which distracted from my playing.

    I still got caught once in a while, which caused no end of glee to some here. But I was no longer a reliable donator. Now even I am gone. The real fish have been gone a while in case you haven't noticed.

    I am not bitter. I did get tired of online poker being a game of attrition with me against the machine like hudbots.

    Your problem is that I (and all like me) aren't gonna be here anymore. I play poker for entertainment, not to grind out profits nut peddling and folding all day.

    Enjoy your new life. Most of you will become the new fish food for the handfull of real pros.
