Stars to be acquired?

Oh boy!
Are we going to have Sleepovers?

No promises, but Canada does make my short list.

I also have family in England, and I'd love to buy a place in the Caribbean. Maybe I'll find a nice shack with a high speed internet connection in Aruba while I'm done there.

Seriously though, there are a number of countries where poker winnings aren't taxed at all. It sure would be nice to be from one of those countries when it comes time to collect on some huge tourney payout. I have to think this is easier said than done though, and probably not worth the headache, unless you really are willing to get up and relocate full time.

"The U.S. government has less than a year to clarify its rules about offshore Internet gambling, a World Trade Organization arbitrator has ruled.

The 31-page ruling issued late last week, makes April 3, 2006, the deadline by which the United States must ensure that its existing gambling laws don't discriminate against companies housed in Antigua and Barbuda."

Of course, if US residents can't play online, even if you move to somewhere where you can, you'll be playing against a very small fraction of the fish currently available.

Honestly, I think it would be a HUGE mistake for the U.S. to outlaw online poker/gambling. Like I said, it will be interesting to see how this all shakes out though.

I don't think soooo many loopholes can be danced around in such a short period of time.

Or God forbid, legalize it and take the tax money to lower gasoline prices/taxes.

Wait, what am I saying, that would require the fucknuts in charge to do something right and we all know that isn't gonna happen.
