I've never really played for money online. I signed up with Pinnacle last night so I could place a few sports bets and they have poker, so I may give that a shot at some point.

Thankfully, I did a long while back and have only a small amount of money there now. I would think any movement of assets(cash) into the US will be stopped though you could have them mail you a check.

For FullTilt and Absolute, not Pokerstars.

Outside of the domain name, everything else is outside of the US. Servers and bank accounts are either in Canada or Cayman Islands.
It'll be interesting to see what happens.

Online Poker is stupid. The free sites are lame because you have people going all in every hand with 5-duece or some other crap just because it's free. And the pay sites...I don't trust. Just Google Ultimate Bet Cheating Scandal.
It's just way too easy to be cheated by either the house or some ppl colluding, and there's virtually no way to prove it.
So if you don't value money I'd say yes, definitely play online poker.
