I've won roughly $0 in the last 5 months, played 1 month, a stellar year for the books in the making. The DOJ just sent me a check for $50,000 for taking away pokerstars and FTP. Some black coat guys came to my door to give me the check, was pretty sweet. This happen for anyone else?
Oh ya, FTP just sent me my $67,399!
KEEP RUNNIN IT BABY
MAYBE MAKE A BUCK THIS MONTH IF I KEEP PLUGGGGGGIN!
A month after black friday, we have gotten our funds from pokerstars and still have 2 frozen sites.
The US government can capatilize hard on the $ capable to be made from online poker.
Right now is the best time to have your voice heard,
write your state congressman or president, or both.
Please, write how the shutdown of online poker has affected your life. How important is it for Americans, the economy, and what the US can do with the taxed funds to get out of the national deficit.
Its still legal to play online too guys - Hero's great atm :-)
Its one month in,
Lets get back rollin online boys n girls;
I hope you guys take this seriously,
Hero Poker is very nice for the time being, and potentially the long run, but we need more places to play, with peace of mind and knowing the legality is 100% in tact;
Thanks for your time,
Please write to them,

Hey guys, I've been playin around on Hero Poker and Black Chip Poker (Both on the same Network) and the games are very good. The software is good and I hear we may be having some great updates in the near future. (crosses fingers)
Be smart with your funds in the beginning, although everything seems safe 27 days after the DOJ owned us Americans.
Deposit your base bankroll for your limit - every $400-$1k+ you win cash out, keeping the same br online. This way if something were to possibly happen, atleast your profits will be coming to you.
It is still legal to play poker online, just not the depositing etc.
Playing over 12 tables can be very tilting on the software (while making one decision, another hand may fold/check unintentionally because no auto-timebank), I reccomend 1-12 tabling for anyone that plays 1-24 tables on the regular.
Played 100k cashgames on Pokerstars (love the set limit option) since around start of new year, here they are; (clarity for some posts on my hands) - I do play online cashgames when I don't have time for MTT's.
Its just extra money on the side, I recently have been playing some NL100 again for the first time in two years, mixing FR and 6max tables.
I'll be playing mostly MTT's as always though, haven't had time in the last two days, but have gotten some good cash sessions in.
Just got kicked out of Taiwan for teaching english without a college degree, sure as hell don't want to go back to the states yet, Thailand it is. (had $500 br at time *didn't know what poker was*)
Arrive at Thailand, go to Khosan Road, stay at the sawatdee inn, go across the street, meet a sweetass hottie n hook up w/ her that night. Few days I had my fun with her, then one night she goes fuckin berzerk on me. I'm like WTF!!! I run to my room and throw about 500-1200 baht at her. (15-40$ish) Party goes on a week on khosan, was fun, but too touristy. (gangja street was fun as hell tho, and only place to safely get green)
Stroke of luck was found. I found a dvd of Rounders and a DVD of Boiler Room for like $2 each on the street.
2nd Stroke of luck was found, met a fucking insanely hot girl at a club and went to her house w/ some friends n partied all night.
3rd stroke of luck was found - my br was at like $200, the next day i wake up and hook up with her. She loves me, I stay there for the remaining 20 days or so freez and live Thai life.
4th stroke of luck was found - Daut44 won a WPT title and inspired me to play poker with all my heart and desire
5th stroke of luck was found - Got to play in some WSOPs and lost to flips and bad beats 2/3 times
6th stroke of luck was found - Becoming a live cash monster while still MTTing and kickin the shit out of cashgames up to NL100 over the last 5-6 months.
