WWdN: In Exile: so long, and thanks for all the chips

It was in June of 2005 that I officially joined Team Pokerstars. It was the beginning of an incredible two year journey that ended last month, when I found out that I won't be on the team after June 15th of this year.

I had been expecting to be cut from the team ever since Bill Frist snuck the UIGEA into an entirely unrelated port security bill in the middle of the night on the last day of Congress' session in 2006. Because he wanted to suck up to his daddy-needing ultra-conservative moralizing base. For his presidential bid. Which he dropped shortly after. Hey, diagnose this, asshole.

Uh. Sorry. Anyway, with the future of online poker in the USA in serious doubt as a result of this Fristfucking, PokerStars and the other online rooms need to focus on Europe and Asia to expand and fortify their business. It totally makes sense, and it didn't surprise me at all when I got the call last month.


Heckuva job Fristie, heckuva job...
