'Black Friday' and associated fallout megathread

Anyone not in the US.. what a time to play guarentee tournies. The 15k Guarantee has only 49 runners and its $109 buyin. Stars are actually loosing money now (although, this is the least of their worries )

i just noticed scott tom's name in omc's cliffnotes. remember, that guy who no longer has anything to do with ub? lmao.

Hahaha yeah I mentioned that in another post. That would be such huge news on another day

Land of the free my ass! Only if your in politics or extremely wealthy more like it.

Anyway FTP loads up fine for me her in Michigan so far today. Hope they can keep it running. I'm keeping my $300 on there right now out of fear that I won't be able to deposit easily. Last month I took out all but $30 so pretty much free rolled money anyway.

Something needs to be done about this. Be sure to check out you local politicians before November and at least let their stance on online poker sway your vote. This is a total breach of our rights and we shouldn't stand for it!

Oh hell that is really bad news.

 

[sheesho]

**** WHAT DO I DO NOW?

 

[CAMurray]

If you have $ on Full tilt and a friend in Europe, you can trust, I would ship him/her your $ b4 it too is not accessible.:creep:

 

[sheesho]

2+2 is awfully slow so I dont know where to go

 

[Marginal]

Guys. It has been fun. But real life calls.


This is obviously a result of dad talking to you guys yesterday, asking me about my keyboard.

 

[Monoxide]

Real life is pretty terrible though most of the time. Escape is needed!

 

[cardriverx]

Still can't cashout on FTP !!! Ugh. I have never withdrawn before either so I still have to send them ID + address confirmation. I'm not gonna even bother sending an email - they're prob getting like 100,000 a minute.

 

[seanDCFC]

Ive just withdrawn most of my roll on Stars, and its gone through. Moving to Skypoker ASAP.

 

[DINGO8MYBABY]

I can't even begin to define my anger right now.

Stars is already blocking transfers, I'm sure FT will be soon if not already, so you better hurry!

Unfortunately I have more on Stars than FT. Fortunately (maybe) I have quite a bit more on Merge that I've already requested. I know they're being slammed and may appear on the DOJ hit list at any minute, so I'm not terribly optimistic that it'll go through.

 

[cardriverx]

have 90% of my roll on FTP. Not really worried about the $100 on PS, but I want that $1400 on FTP. Should've done it earlier...

 

[Marginal]

There's nothing else to do, every me and every you.

 

[DetroitJimmy]

I'm still gonna play. I mean if they get this straightened out soon no sense in missing a day. Can't cash out anyway.

 

[PC69]

wow!

 

[CAMurray]

I guess we will have to finish the League games at the Atlantis.

Yeah, best thing to do now is withdraw from pokerstars if you're from the UK.

I had a feeling this was going to happen though.

 

[larrdawg69]

Well ain't this a bitch, seem's all good things are coming to an end!! Can't imagine how much the F'n government has received since eWallet. Wish I knew if there's any light at the end of this tunnel!! I basically can't play anywhere now that Merge won't let me depo!!
