The Poker Blackout

While i've been really lazy the last five months and just playing video games and very little poker, the PPA has been very busy trying to legalize online poker in the U.S. and a bill has been submitted. Thats great right? WRONG! Attached to this bill will be a 15 month fucking blackout to US citizens, what does this mean? It means if you live at a US address you will literally not be able to play online poker for 15 months and it could go into effect as soon as January 1st. Most of the regs I used to play with seem to be making plans to move out of country if this happens. Obv, I won't be as i'm still rebuilding and just don't have that much of a drive to play anymore. Not sure why, just isn't the same as it was seven years ago, it feels more like work than a fun activity that makes me money.

My new years resolution was going to be "less video games, more poker" but now that may not work out because of this bill. Sigh.....well, I guess thats all I got, so get your poker in people, come January 1st, you may only be able to play at the brick and mortar casino's
