Just wondering if pokerstars will move to Maryland.
well Georgia being in the biblebelt, will prolly be last like lottery
Nevada must open
I really don't know, but when it became legal in the Us again, it's gonna be a big boom over again, the value for who's really good will be INSANE ..
People say that poker will be dead in the next years, but I think that there's so many unexplored markets that when it became legal, it's gonna be huge.
I think that still have a lot of value and a lot of money to be made in poker, here in Brazil the boom is happening, and in other places will happen too.
Yea we can pretty much give up on ever having it here.

Saw a newsfeed today, a tribe in Iowa got rights from feds to offer international poker!!! does anyone else know anything about that?
Maybe it will, they said we would never get the lottery too. Money talks

The ruling applies to all Iowa tribes in fact. It remains to be seen how it fleshes out. The tribe who got the ruling has a tech partner but I've never heard of them or seen what their product will look like (it won't be Pokerstars, yet).
But here's the rub. They can only offer play where it is legal to do so, and in Iowa it isn't, except on tribal lands. That's some pretty tight geolocating, so I don't expect to see it available in Iowa any time soon, though I may be underestimating the technology.
They can offer play in other countries, and perhaps even in NJ and NV if they can get licensed (those licenses would only be good within their respective states, with no mixed player pools, however).
From a practical standpoint, I don't see a poker product working from this right away, if at all. But it does open the doors for the rest of the nation's tribes, and just might be a complication in other states with tribal gaming (notably California).
Personally I think tribal issues have always been the big hurdle to spreading online poker across the states. This makes the hurdle higher
IMHO
there isn't that much money in poker, which seems to be a huge misconception out there
