Subject Poker: “DOJ Plans Action Against Merge”

Do all the Merge skins have the same tournament structure? There doesn't seem to be much play there as the blinds and antes don't allow it. Within 30-40 minutes, the average stack has only about 10-12 bb's left.

Yes and it sucks--gotta get those fish out of the tournament and into ring games.

Not sure Eddie, but their are a number of anonymous servers in Europe - you could log onto one of these and then play. The problem as I read the US law that its not the playing of poker online that is the issue but using financial institutions to move money onto and off these sites. I see no legal way for you to do that under the DOJ interpretation of the law.

In a related point, the problem with FT is that they owners appear to have gutted the company financially. Some are calling it a Ponzi scheme -it will interesting to see how this plays out. Surprisingly, the DOJ has been quite on AP - which stopped paying out in June and looks like it is dwindling away with a bunch of my money and I'm guessing that of lots of other players.
