A buddy of mine was telling me that next month, online poker for US players will be completely illegal. I really doubt this but I thought I would come here and ask around a bit since I cannot find anything on the net about it.

Im not even sure of the current laws concerning online gambling for US players. But should US players be worried right now about possibly not being able to play poker online in the future?

Wasn't sure if this is the right forum. I'd suggest going to the 2p2 legislation forum and reading there. Basically we don't know what, if anything, is going to change, but it doesn't make poker illegal to play online.

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.
