I mentioned in another thread on this subject that a bill in a committee is nowhere near being a law. More bills die in committee then make it out of committee. Yes there is some hope here ... just do not expect anything soon. Congress is a slow moving machine.

For those hoping to play on Stars and Tilt ... Tilt and Stars were indicted for BANK FRAUD and MONEY LAUNDERING! The chances of them being back in the US market is next to nil.

When/if online poker is fully legalized/regulated expect new companies to rise and fill the void left from Stars/Tilt. Many people are speculating Ceasars, Harrahs, WSOP, ect. to be the new big boys on the block. They certainly have the capital and know how to do it.
