Just got the official announcement from Fulltilt

Dear James,

We're contacting you following the recent actions by the U.S. government last Friday 15th April.

As you may be aware, Full Tilt Poker is unable to accept "real money" play from U.S. players at the current time, and this includes any deposits or withdrawals. We are working to resolve these issues as soon as possible and will keep you updated as information becomes available to us.

We are deeply sorry for this inconvenience, but these events are beyond our control. Please be assured that your funds, and your players funds are safe, and we thank you for your patience while we do everything in our power to have money returned to those who have requested it as soon as possible.

Please note, that this action only impacts players based in the U.S. and Full Tilt Poker is still fully operational elsewhere. Your players can currently access our site at www.fulltiltpoker.co.uk and you can also find your up to date tracking links and bonus codes in your affiliate centre at https://affiliates.fulltiltpoker.co.uk which is available using your normal login details.

As always, we appreciate your continued support, and we will provide additional information to you as it becomes available. Also please be aware that due to the high volume of queries received from affiliates you may experience a slight delay in response times to emails.

Sincerely,

The Full Tilt Poker Affiliate Team
Please click this link and take a few minutes to send letters to our government officials regarding online poker. I'm not sure it will help but it definitely won't hurt.

WTF???? Pokerstars gone

Anyone else hear about this? I played on pokerstars last night and today I can't.

Is this state specific? I'm in MO.

Forums say this is nationwide and I found this link: http://www.justice.gov/usao/nys/pressreleases/April11/scheinbergetalindictmentpr.pdf

WWJD -What Would Jamyhawk Do?

$22 buy in. 152 players and we are down to final 3. I'm in 2nd place. Ferbs has been playing loose and I don't think he's a very good player. He has a 57 rating on sharkscope. TRUE_KASPER seems to be a decent player.
