Julio Rodriquez van Cardplayer sprak met veel bekende Amerikaanse online kanonnen over de uitsluiting van online poker in de Verenigde Staten. Hij vroeg hen wat hun plannen nu waren en hoe zij de nabije toekomst voor zich zien. Velen van hen gaan zich de komende tijd op het live poker richten. Andere denken hard op aan verhuizen naar het buitenland. De veelal jonge internet spelers zien terug gaan naar school/studie ook als een zeer serieuze optie.

I have been considering going back to school for quite some time now independent of these legal developments. Honestly, this was just the push I needed. The upcoming World Series of Poker will probably be my last hurrah. I'll go back and finish my undergraduate degree and then I'll likely go to law school. I'll always play poker because I still love it, but this is pretty much the end to my time as a full-time pro.

Steve "gboro780" Gross — ($4.1miljoen aan toernooiwinsten)

My first priority is to get better at live poker, then I can concentrate on some things that aren't poker related. It will be nice to actually relax on Sundays. If things get really bad, I could always apply for a job at Del Taco.

Thayer "THAY3R" Rasmussen — ($2.6 miljoen aan toernooiwinsten)

I'll probably try out the live pro thing for a bit or look into other entrepreneurial endeavors. After the World Series of Poker, I might consider moving to another country.

Dan "HundoFight" O'Brien — ($1.1 miljoen aan toernooiwinsten)

This news was certainly disappointing, but I'm primarily a live player so it's not life ending. I'm still going to travel the circuit, but I'll probably focus a little more time on my business and live cash games. I am definitely voting for Ron Paul in 2012. He is the only politician I trust to do anything, whether I agree with his views or not. I also think online poker will be legalized and regulated within the next two years.

David "Doc Sands" Sands — ($2.4 miljoen aan toernooiwinsten)

I really like my live game right now and I'm fortunate to be bankrolled to play just about everything on the live circuit, so I'm not too concerned. That being said, I am very glad that I finished college and have a degree to fall back on.

David Sands is lid van Doyle's room. De room die onlangs het Cake Poker Netwerk inruilde voor het Yatahay Netwerk.

Jason "jdpc27" Wheeler — ($1.5 miljoen aan toernooiwinsten)

My immediate plans are to establish residency in Mexico and continue to play online, albeit with reduced prize pools, until everything is sorted out. I honestly believe that Canada or Mexico will be a temporary solution for many

Anthony "holdplz" Spinella — ($2.1 miljoen aan toernooiwinsten)

I'm going to see how long it looks like it will take for online poker to return. If it becomes apparent that it's not coming back, moving out of the country is definitely an option.

Joseph "subiime" Cheong — ($4.7 miljoen aan toernooiwinsten)

I might travel the world, playing and living here and there from month to month. Other than that, I plan to play a lot of golf and workout. The sites will be back before I could establish citizenship anywhere else anyway.

Luke "Bdbeatslayer" Vrabel — ($2.8 miljoen aan toernooiwinsten)

For the time being, I'm going to enjoy my money and play a little live poker. It was fun while it lasted, but I always knew that the government was just waiting to pounce. I'm just surprised that everyone else is so stunned by this news. If you are dumb enough to have 90 percent of your net worth online, well, good luck. I know some players who have $500,000 online that are asking me for loans just because their money is going to be locked up for awhile.

Dan "djk123" Kelly — ($4.1 miljoen aan toernooiwinsten)

I'm going to join the world Scrabble tour.
