Here is the message I put on aberdeen-mad.co.uk, as a result of the unprecendented and probably illegal crackdown on online poker in the last 12 hours: The FBI has seized all the assets of the online poker world, trying to take $3 billion from the gambling community. It is not yet known what the extent of the fallout is, but I might see you down the dole queue on Monday.... As it stands, I will be coaching and grinding as per usual (albeit, without my American students and opponents). However, it seems as if the world's economy sees a quick way to make a buck without fear of reprisal/regulation... I do feel as if there is no stronger collection of intellectual minds than the poker community, so it will be nigh on impossible to f**uck with them without reprisal. However, for the time being, I recommend that you withdraw a chunk of your roll on Full Tilt, Pokerstars and Absolute Poker/Ultimate Bet in case of the unthinkable happening. Keep the minimum necessary in order to still play your regular games in your online accounts.
