For players in the USA what are your plans for the 15 month blackout. I am sure there will be ways around it and maybe some will actually be playing but for the rest of us law abiding citizens :D what will you be doing.

As much as I would hate to not play online for 15 months I think this would be a great time for me to study a lot and improve my game way more. Read books. Maybe join a video site. Play live a little bit more but not much because to be honest that is why they wanted this bill in the first place so that they could try and save the dying casinos. I will also play in play money games and hope that we will be able to join each other in some games as well. There is no way I am not playing for 15 months that is for sure.

So what say you?

I would get involved in as many live games as time would allow. Perhaps start a league and host it every other week.

I suppose bodog & company would likely still be options, too.

Enjoy the break from bad beats and yelling at my computer screen.
Seriously though, read more, get more active on forums

If this legislation does go through, I can see a lot more home games happening. However, in a lot of places home games are illegal, so I suspect nothing less than our typical government, with raids through the roof....

I'll probably just play online anyways. I don't agree with the government telling me what I can and can't do with my money just because they aren't getting their cut.

Really say it ain't so wow I probably will just play free on my phone and read more books. I have a new book on SNGs I will be reading soon anyway. That will be a boomer 15 months. Where is the decision on that or is it in the works.

For more serious responses, get a move serious avatar. That one also induces the imagination. Seems to beckon tomfoolery, in the most postive and good natured way. :)

Actually, I'm enjoying the humor because I am just on the edge of being seriously bummed out and laughing about this fiasco helps lift my spirits.

I keep telling myself not to jump the gun, to wait and see what happens, that sort of stuff.

Still, I have been giving your original question a lot of thought.

Like others have mentioned, I would read and study. I'd also continue my my involvement here in a big way. I'd also try to get out to play live at least once, optimally twice, a month.

And I imagine we'll still be able to access play money games and tournies (like the folks in WA) but the very thought of that...sigh.

One thing I've been wondering about is whether there is a way we (CardsChat) US members could organzie and play in a private club online.

I'll probably just stay living here in canada. Pretty sure the tournament scene will drop off considerably online.
