It appears Merge is starting to take new sign-ups again - at least one skin (Sportsbook) started taking new signups a few days ago. It seems reasonable to assume that other skins will be following soon.
As much as I think the player cooperative is a great idea, it doesn't make sense for me to run a full-blown business like I was considering. I was actually thinking of having a feature-laden web site, a forum on 2+2, etc. Interest was rather tepid, but more importantly, it appears some of the potential legal headaches just aren't worth it. Thanks DOJ. You've won the battle, but not the war. One day, if you find a big Asian dude squatting and laying a huge deuce on your well-manicured-from-robbing-US-poker-players-lawn on your night-vision surveillance cameras, that'll be me. You will know it's me for sure if you zoom in and see the letters "F.U. DOJ" on the left cheek and "<3 Doublefly" on the right (I have a big ass), with some hair in the middle.
I still play some online poker when I have time and I have a network of poker buddies. So we are going to incorporate some of the concepts, just to make playing poker a lot easier post BF. Some of those ideas were pretty good (if I do say so myself). As I always say, as you go through life, it always pays to have outs. Having a network of peers (like ours) give you some outs. Sometimes outs are presented to you, and other times you have to create them, but always make sure you have outs. If you're interested in participating, send an email to doubleflypoker@gmail.com. If you use one of the US poker referral links on the right, I'll automatically include you.
Speaking of referral links, I decided the best thing to do with the "void" left by those cheesy Google "buy gold" and vocational school ads was to refer people to various poker sites. You'll get all the standard VIP benefits, bonuses and promos of all the US sites by signing up thru me, and you'll get a lot of extra perks. I also teamed up with Schwallie (RakeTakers) to provide players with non-US referrals. There are also some undergound sites for both US and non-US players. At the end of the day, promoting online poker is my own version of civil disobedience. Poker's not illegal (unless you live in WA state). So F. U. DOJ!!! I am going to sit in the front of the bus if I feel like it. God help anyone who tells me otherwise.
I get internet access in prison, right?
