Don't understand the furor over online poker, they had no option after Black Friday, these sites then are the only viable option, just to put this stupidity in context, you could gamble on how long the American National Anthem is on the SuperBowl, but you can't play online poker.
As a European player playing on trusted sites such as Pokerstars, Partypoker, and.other such platforms, I think the issue is more Real Time Assistance because you can use notes or access solves from spits, but even then, that's not really an issue, because it's so hard to do these facilities at the time frame of the online game and there will be spots which have no come up before for a rec.
The alternative is the U.S. government revert their decision and allow the trusted sites with their own software back into the company.
As for Maybachs original dig in relation to the certificates coming from a banana republic. Full Tilt was registered in Ireland. There was the loss of nearly 200 jobs when the site closed down here. You know why it was here, for tax breaks, lowest Corporation Tax for Multinationals in an English Speaking Country in the E.U.
Do you know what else is here, all the pharmaceutical companies, there's buckets of them literally within an hour's drive of me. I will also point out that Google, Facebook, Apple and a whole host of other large multinationals are here for the same reason above. Instead of typecasting and throwing out broad statements, actually do research and become informed as to why they are here, rather than painting an inaccurate picture of something that's not true, stating about a banana republic.
The best thing about this is, you had a preconceived ideology about the site before you went on it, you didn't trust it, played anyways, lost, and then whinged. Therefore why not use common sense, avoid it, and go to a trusted site like
wsop.com, ACR or another like Ignition, which the vast majority of regs use in the American Community.
