Nick has a FTP Rep, but he doesn't frequent here. FTP Doug isn't 2p2's personal rep, he just goes there because it is a good center for activity so that he doesn't have to post the same thing 50 times on all of the different poker sites.

Pretty good article here by an attorney about Black Friday. http://www.relentlessdefense.com/ou...-profile-cases/u-s-attorney-s-office-on-tilt/
I saw this on 2+2 but hadn't seen it here and its something everyone should read IMO.

Dear PokerPete3435,
As you are aware, following the recent events in the United States, full tilt poker is no longer able to offer real-money play to residents of the U.S. and its territories.
Returning U.S. Players' funds is our top priority. We are working hard to achieve this and will have a further update for U.S. players next week.
We have compiled a list of the most frequently asked questions we have received from U.S. players, which may address some of your questions or concerns.
The page can be found here: http://www.fulltiltpoker.com/us-player-faq
Updates will be posted on this page when they become available.
Thank you for your patience as we work through the outstanding issues.
Kind regards,
Full Tilt Poker

Well, if that does not perfectly, logically and undoubtedly put massive holes in the DoJ's case, I don't know what will. I'm not very fluent in legalese, but as a layman (as most jurors in this case, if it goes to trial, will be) I found that article very clear to the point that there is no way or precedent that the DoJ's actions were legal or backed by the law in any way or form. Very good read.

Yah... that's what it must be... a 'maturity issue' on Fulltilt's behalf obv. They've like purposefully avoided stuff like your account because of a lack of maturity. imo... you're 'projecting' here if anything. Reading your 'intro.' thread on the forum, you're lucky to have gotten a dime from them imo.

If you are staying there and can prove residency, you can play. Other than that, right now I don't think you have any other options. And I wish I was kidding.

From FTP US players Faqs:
As a US resident, can I play at Full Tilt Poker?
Full Tilt Poker is unable to accept ‘Real Money’ play from customers residing in the United States.
If I move outside the United States, can I play at Full Tilt Poker?
Yes. But your existing account and balance will not yet be available on logging in.
You will be required to provide sufficient proof of relocation, including your photo identification and proof of residency at your new address. You can then use non-US funds to play from outside the US. And, after return of your US funds, you will be able to use those funds as well from outside the US.
I am a US resident but am travelling overseas. Can I play at Full Tilt Poker while outside the US?
No. US residents are not permitted to play for real money at Full Tilt Poker.

Possibly. But they may be wary of an unverified ip address and may block it as well. Then as Charade said, there's still the problem of proving to them of a residential address change before they will let you play. From what I've read, they are requiring some serious verification now due to the amount of players trying to just change their account details without actually changing their physical address or country of residence.

that's no problem i have a house there ( my mom does) lol but since it's a 3rd world country the houses there don't have a physical address (number and street zip etc) i just looked at my big brother's ID card from there and there is no address on it....so does that mean i'm screwed or i hit the jackpot
if i can get that taken care of and then change my ip i should be fine but ........i started playing on sportsbook and carbon now trying to get used to their software and if i like em i won't need to do all that
