This is extremely naive thinking. The bill passed by an overwhelming majority in the House. We should have no reason to believe it won't pass in the Senate as well, and the White House has already said it supports it.

As for the "very little" effect on you, hopefully we'll never have to find out, but I'm confident that you are very, very wrong about that.

But TP it wont have any effect on most European poker players online. The so called Big US poker companies will get around laws or seek to exploit the markets outside their country. Pokerstars for example will have a seperate Euro client and no one will care tbh.

I really will suck for people in America true, but poker survived before it and will do after. Live games are good

Why would Pokerstars create a seperate client? I am fairly certain that Pokerstars was (and probably still is) the main sponsor for the European Poker Tour. What are they just going to create a new platform out of the blue if the US bans online gambling? I don't think so. Also, your argument that no one will care outside of US if it does become illegal is fairly dumb.
