I just hope theres a site that has huge MTTs, Thats what I miss most about pokerstars......Playing in a MTT that can change your life in you win it, like the Sunday Majors!

99% sure this will be a state by state thing before its a federal thing. Nevada, California, and New Jersey should be the first 3 states to have some type of intrastate system in place. That's where the big B&M casinos are located.

I think it's a little too early to say that online poker will be "legalized" (it's never truly been ruled illegal to play, just illegal to deposit).

This is a good first step, but there's a long way to go before you'll see Pokerstars or any other site that's not accepting U.S. players make a return to the market.

+ a million! I say let's be happy that we still have a place to play.

Looks like things are on the right track for Legalization of it, although I doubt anything happens until after the election.

On the best worst, I think all of washington is so fubar right now.

They should create a political section in the forums somewhere

I personally think within months you will see Party Poker as the 1st to re-open to the US market.

Pokerstars probably not, FTP is dead.

Party Poker is on the good side of the US DOJ, Pokerstars is not

See Zab I understand that Party Poker is on the good side with Americans and the DOJ but I just feel like they wont come back because the US poker market is going to be controlled by Casinos. Especially since its going to be state by state all the big casinos from a business standpoint are going to jump in and just control the market. I might be completely wrong and I think it would be smart for a Party Poker to just jump back in I just feel like there content with there Market now.
