Weren't UB and AP on the same network at the time Russ Hamilton and Scott Tom went to town. At least that fgt is named in the indictment, he deserves everything that happens to him.

This is a crock of horse poop. No 'real' news thread is disseminating this information, it's all coming from poker sites. I will believe once it makes nightly news.

You know XBOX Live has a poker game. Maybe we can set up something for RIU memebers to use and we can set up a paypal account or we can just play for seeds and clones. That would be awesome.

I read this and went and cashed out all but a couple bucks at full tilt and bodog just now.
As far as I can tell they are functioning properly but I didnt wanna take the chance.

I would have to buy another X Box cause my Boyfriend (he on this site too) would be hogging it! Sounds great we be up for it!

That screen did not come up on mine...& it's real $.

You think I fabricated the screen to continue this ruse?

@see4...is CNN and CNBC reputable enough?

Maybe it will show up later on mine...who know's. But it still suck's. I enjoy NL Holdem & Omaha H/L.

Well, I ain't pullin' my money just yet but, I am going to be paying very close attention. Besides, I have 4 b7m casinos near my house so, I may just have to go back to playing live.

You are not very bright are you. The reason that online does not seem as random as Live poker is that you play on average 30-40 times as many hands in an hour. People who say things like this are just stupid or are not very good at playing and need a scapegoat. I for one have been playing online for almost 6 years and know for a fact that it is just as random as any game you will find at a b&m casino.

Haha and I am not bright but yet you are the one that says that online poker is just as random as any game in a casino. So its just as random as casino war? the game where you flip just two cards and highest wins? I'll tell ya what you pick the online IQ test site, preferably one that posts its scores on the website, and whoever has the lowest score will delete RIU account.

Technically it's more random than casino war, the game I have to explain what it is because if someone said casino war to me I wouldn't understand what they were talking about myself, due to limitations on randomness imposed by the physical shuffling of cards.

Is anyone on this site good enough at using Tor or a similar program to change your IP going into the PokerStars client so it won't recognize you as a U.S. user?

I did this a few times with madden and fight night and I won a little bit of money but people use glitches and shit in them so it got old fast but if I'll get the poker game eventually so I'd be down for it.I just gotta get ahold of a ethernet cable and shit.

No matter what kind of business it is the Government always finds a way to fuck it up. It's just a matter of time Before they make a law against anything that involves you or anything that elevates your serotonin levels.. Would you look at that, The Government is trying to turn us into Shepard, while we evolve into Sheep. DO NOT drink the water they lead you to. It's political Bullshit that will ( eventually ) slowly strip your Right and freedom from you. Now look at that and tell me thats what you want.

Look at that,,NO THANKS
