Bad news on the poker front. No, I didn't lose my shirt, in fact I've had about my best month ever and feel poised for a personal record cash. But the game may be drying up a bit online. Federal officials arrested the two guy that founded Neteller, the largest e-wallet service on the internet. You can't use most Visas or Mastercards to put money in a poker account directly, so people started some e-wallets. You put money in your Neteller account and then can transfer it to any poker site. Because of the arrests, Neteller has announced that they will no longer do business in the US, and another popular e-wallet, MyCitadel.com, said they are also leaving the US. While I have no problem jumping through hoops to deposit money by other methods (ideally I will never have to make another deposit anyway), potential new players probably just won't bother, and current losing players will have an easier time quitting. That means the only US players left are going to be the good ones and/or the rich businessman type who doesn't mind dropping $10k in a night for some excitement. Granted, that's above my level, but some of that money may trickle down, though money tends to trickle up in the poker world.
