To all the U.S. players who are content with playing on the tiny sites that remain serving the U.S... I don't think it will last very long. I feel like the U.S. government is going to gobble those sites up next after they are done with their main course of Stars, FTP and UB/AP. If you think that Bodog poker uses more legit ways to facilitate money shifts off and on their poker site then lol at you.
Also, I'm sure that once everyone is finally given their money back that is stuck on Stars or Full Tilt a few things will happen. Firstly, a huge % of the recreational players will be spooked by this huge disaster and never play online ever again because of the scare of having their money locked up for "several weeks" as well as the impression that "online poker is now illegal in the U.S.". Obviously, the fish fall in this category. This is not good. Don't expect the average fish to just say, oh well. And then deposit on Carbon poker when they know that the same thing could easily happen to Carbon.
Secondly, the U.S. pros are unlikely to completely give up... but a lot of pro poker players are lazy and will not bother or want to relocate outside of the United States. The result? A big influx of pros into the sites that still allow U.S. players. Therefore effectively killing the games at the remaining sites.
Only time will tell to see what actually ends up happening.
