FBI/DOJ Sieze Full Tilt, Pokerstars, Absolute Bet & Ultimate Bet Domains


Well, I guess I picked the wrong day to quit smoking!
Your DNS Servers may not have updated yet, but as soon as they do you’ll most likely see this message on the homepages of Full Tilt Poker, Absolute Poker, Ultimate Bet and Pokerstars:
(Click for big)
There’s also a copy of the Indictment here.
In essence, the domains have been seized, and 76 bank accounts spread over 14 countries have been issued a restraining order.
This is bad.
This isn’t anything even close to the Bodog domain name situation. This isn’t even remotely similar to the Cake/Kentucky situation.
This is worse than the UIEGA, and it has the potential to be very, very bad.
At least in the short term.
This isn’t some “fly by the night” decision by the Department of Justice, trust me on that one. This is something that has been in the works for a long time. I had heard rumblings from a source about this recently, but had no idea it was going to be on such a grand scale and I’m still struggling to get my head around it.
However this is something that shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone – something like this was alwaysgoing to happen, and I’m honestly surprised it’s taken this long since the UIEGA. I’d like to think that the owners of the poker rooms have been preparing for this – although I’m not at all confident of this knowing the methods they have used to circumvent the UIEGA.
The worst thing you can do is panic. I’ve went through the dot com bubble burst and I’ve went through the UIEGA to know how it all works. The worst thing you can do right now is sit around reading forums all day, posting on them and acting emotional, whether it be to forecast the “end of the world” or to try and spin things in a positive light.
Very few facts are known at this point of time. The best thing you can do is react and throw yourself into your work. Have non-gaming website ideas just sitting aside gathering dust? Time to start working on them. Have Full Tilt, Pokerstars and UB as your top rooms? Time to drop them(at least until the dust settles), and start pushing other rooms.
Every cloud has a silver lining. Use this as a motivator and get your asses in gear – and work your asses off! As for this whole issue just sit back, and look at how it all plays out and react accordingly.
This isn’t the end of the world. It’s just a new chapter. It’s thinning out the herd.
This is the motivational boost you’ve been waiting for.

Doyle Brunson: A Real Man of Online Gambling


Bet at Wagerweb

_________??__100% Bonus CODE: AF4517


When the going got tough, the tough didn't get going. Doyle Brunson, the fierce Texas Dolly whose escaped the clutches of death several times throughout his long lifetime, has stood pat for the industry he loves and believes in despite a law that has forced two of Doylesroom.com host poker networks to abandon the U.S. market. When down (not that Doyle was ever completely down), he just got up again and found a new vehicle to ride like some dusty old barn trailer.

Now - thanks to the Cake Poker Network - Doyle has never been stronger - offering a 110 percent bonus, the best Celebrity Bounty Hunter tournaments online today (with players such as Mickey Rourke and Nicky Hilton), and $100,000 guaranteed every Sunday at 5 pm EST.

"Doyle is a real man," exalted The Costa Rican Bookie Senior International Correspondent, Xi Tak. "A trooper - gruff, probably hairy, I doubt he shaves his body hair, and he's packing - in more ways than one I hear."

In fact, Doyle has become the new face of online gambling along with the equally hard-edged Annie Duke, both of whom are making it known that this industry is not made up of "quitters" and "pansies".

"Hee haw! The cowboy hat just drives me nuts!" a giddy Woo climaxed. "Doyle never postures and always says what's on his mind and everyone I know in the industry respects him. Not only is he sexy, masculine and full of hybrid vigor, Doyle is a wise man and his stamina has helped bring respect and integrity to online poker. Those eyes: They simmer and cut through my beating bleeding heart like a dirk."

Brunson is the first player to earn $1 million in poker tournaments and has won ten World Series of Poker bracelets throughout his career, tied with Johnny Chan for second all-time, one behind Phil Hellmuth's eleven. He is also one of only four players to have won the Main Event at the World Series of Poker multiple times, which he did in 1976 and 1977.

So what are some traits of a real man that Jenny loves about Doyle?

"Doyle is focused and doesn't waste his time on stupidities. When a real man makes a promise, he keeps his word. A real man would never desert his true love (poker). He also doesn't try to look like a woman (no offense to Sparky Collins). A real man isn't afraid to hunt down a wild bore as opposed from running away from the raging beast."

Likewise, Doyle does not have to hang around with celebrities to make himself feel important - instead they feel honored to hang around with him. Jenny can understand why.

"I've been with Vin Diesel, I've been with Doyle Brunson. I've had sex with neither," Woo anguished. "It I had to choose between two real men like Vin and Doyle, I'd go with the fine aged win - Doyle Brunson."
