Message: [QUOTE="LarkMarlow, post: 1366189, member: 57665"] Though my ISP is headquartered in Cincinnati OH, their computers and all are housed across the river in Florence KY so I have encountered restrictions as well. I can still access Stars, FT and bodog. Before Cereus took over UB and AP, I couldn't get into those rooms either. I rarely play AP so that didn't bother me, but I had quite a chunk of change in UB at the time and there was no way I could withdraw those funds. Everything's fine for the time being. The last I heard was that there is a good chance the KY legislation is going to be overthrown. We'll see. In the meantime, I can't play at Cake or Doyle's Room or an a assortment of smaller sites. Though that doesn't bother me, there remains the principle of the thing. The silver lining in that temporary UB cloud was that I was fired up and joined the Poker Player's Alliance ([URL="http://www.theppa.org"]www.theppa.org[/URL]). I have become as active as I can locally to fight this injustice. I've corresponded and talked with our Rep. Steve Driehaus who co-wrote the appeal with Barney Frank. Tonoawanda, I would highly recommend joining the PPA--now [B]that[/B] would be a very positive and productive use of that extra time on your hands IMHO. :) My philosophy has always been that if I have serious concerns about something like this, I roll up my sleeves and do what I can to fight back. If we sit back and do nothing but lament the loss of freedom or worry about potential consequences, then we are part of the problem as I see things. As for your list, like dakota said, #1 is a concern. At this point I think it is a possibility but hardly a likely probability. Regarding #2-#5, highly unlikely because of the huge number of people involved and many other factors. [/QUOTE]
