Message: [QUOTE="gefishy, post: 1762860, member: 79339"] I understand. I wasn't trying to trivialize the loss that professional online poker players are dealing with. The fact of the matter is that this [U]was[/U] a huge blow to several hard working people. I just think that the reality of the world we live in post-"Black Friday" is one where especially those who rely on this as a source of income need to be more cautious. Depositing any appreciable amount of money is dangerous stuff when you don't know from one day to the next if that site will even be there. Going to a live tournament schedule to augment the changed online landscape is a bit much to ask. What other options are there though? If you want to make money playing poker are you really that confident that you will be able to to sustain an income through [U]online[/U] poker? What steps could/should somebody take to protect themselves in this environment? [/QUOTE]
