rgold79 0 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Today really feels like the beginning of the end for online poker as it was. I've pulled almost all of my money offline, and just don't see things going back the way they were. My parting message to online poker would just be to say thanks for giving me something to obsess about for four amazing years.What would yours be? Link to post Share on other sites

My parting message to online poker would just be to say thanks for giving me something to obsess about for four amazing years.What would yours be?Online poker site deals w/ big bank in Canada, big reputable bank in Canada deals w/ banks in US. Wow!! One more step in the depositing/withdrawing process, big fn whoop (I'm pretty sure UB already does this). It will be near impossible to stop online gambling, quit being such a downer.

Cause I have about sixty pages of evidence to the contrary if you want me to get rolling. Link to post Share on other sites

SCYUKON 0 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I have not reloaded since Visa quit allowing me to deposit on Stars. No way I am going to give my bank account number to some online joint in Costa Rica or wherever.I hate to say it but the vice seems to be rapidly tightening. Time will tell.But since I don't make a living (nor plan to) playing online I just feel it is not worth the hassle to try and get some funds onto a site.My message would be "Thank for bringing poker to the masses", per the request of the OP. At least the B/Ms are still stocked with fish.D Link to post Share on other sites

SCYUKON 0 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 soo all this time i was getting fukced in the *** on beats by a girl?That is a brilliant analogy. Can't believe that all this time I did not clue in that online poker screws one even if you make all the right plays. And god help ya if you screw up too - it just gets worse. Oh well, at least online poker never asked me what time I was getting home..... Link to post Share on other sites

rgold79 0 Posted January 18, 2007 Author Share Posted January 18, 2007 I think I want to clarify what I said before... Obviously people who play online frequently are still going to play. I'll probably find some way to get money in there and keep playing. What I meant is that this latest blow is going to keep new and inexperienced players - the ones who make online poker so much fun and profitable - from depositing money and contributing to the poker economy. Things will undoubtedly be different now, and that is what I was wishing goodbye to. Link to post Share on other sites

Then as the casual (and less skilled - kind of like me!) players with money online (unlike me) eventually go broke, and find it a PITA to deposit more money, they will say screw it.So for those that are left over, the games are not going to be anyways near as juicy either as the pool of fish dries up.Hope that forecast is wrong for those of you who make a living online.....

I may have to actually leave the house to play. Link to post Share on other sites
