Pokerstars and FullTilt Coming Soon To America?

I think many of us crave the day when Pokerstars and FullTilt is available to the rest of the world. Here is an interesting article I noticed to end the third quarter. I mean, if it starts in one state, it should have a domino effect of getting into other states.

I cannot post the link, oh well. Wanted to say Amaya got regulatory approval to operate Pokerstars and FullTilt from New Jersey yesterday.  It is posted in an article from Amaya's website.

You can view an article about it here too.

I hope this room will go bankrupt before that.  LOL

Soon it will have nothing in common with poker at all (in meaning: poker as game of skills).

Besides their "magic boards" since P* was bought by Amaya they made some amazing changes. All of those "all-in shootout tournaments" which require a lot of skills (you don't even to be online, yay!), spin&Go (gamble & go) and changes recently done ("Last month, we reduced data mining in Zoom!, restricted the use of heads-up displays, and limited the use of Spin & Go seating scripts." - Good job, Amaya!) here is what regs can expect in 2016:

A Summary of 2016 Changes*

Reducing Rewards for High-Volume and High-Stakes Players

VIP Club rewards will be capped at 30%, impacting mainly high-volume Supernova and SupernovaElite status players.

• PlatinumStar status will have up to a 10% reduction in their overall rewards.

• In recognition of the players who have already-earned SupernovaElite status or will by the end of the year, the benefits cap for players who earn Supernova Elite in 2015 will be 45% in 2016.

• No VPPs for pot-limit and no-limit games with blinds of $5-$10+, 8-game $10-$20+, and other limit games with blinds of $10-$15+. This change is implemented due to high transaction costs and operation costs of monitoring these games.

But that's not all. Why just reduce the income for best players?

Let's do something more!

Third-Party Software Restrictions

. The game should be about combining logic and an ability to steel your nerves to make that big call or bluff (read: be stupid enough to make stupid decisions just because you have balls); it shouldn't be about clicking a button because harvested stats tell you to. For this reason, we are on a path to eliminate many of these technological advantages that are used by a minority of players.

The new restrictions on third-party software will extend recent changes to our third-party software (so called Poker Trackers) policy.

Our intention is to expand these restrictions through major changes within our own software that we will communicate in more detail through 2016. PokerStars wants to offer fun, fair and competitive games of poker globally (for idiots who prefer to gamble instead of doing some math). These changes aim to help us achieve that goal.

No more HUDs at all? Really? Just because fish are too stupid to use it?

What is going to change in 2017? Banning everyone who goes all-in pre-flop with AK+ JJ+ because "that's not fun and you should go all-in with 23o sometimes"?

Anyway, this place is just another online casino for me, playing poker here is a joke.

They will land the market for USA, but these changes that lately are coming aoubt the vip's and so are simply stupid... The huds another story, Pokerstars, Full Tilt should encourage the thought that you can make money on poker without luck, hardly saying, but they are doing the different thing.
