so are we saying that we should hit stars and tilt as non-US players as much as possible?

Sounds like a good idea to me. they must have lost over 50% of their grinders whi;st losing less than 50% of their fish

No doubt iPoker/OnGame etc are going to have a bit more traffic over the coming weeks, but one thing to take into account is that alot of players in the USA didn't have the opportunity, or decided not to withdraw funds from their FTP or PS accounts.

I'd expect to see the average joe signing up with a euro based site but alot of the grinders and guys who have big money not so much as a good chunk of there bankroll will be unaccessable due to it being on the above mentioned sites still.

It's going to be interesting to watch this play out and see what happens.

i still cant quite work this one out? 

surely Full Tilt has made many friends in the government and FBi to get away with this? 

business as usual in may i reckon

What makes you think that the Government give a damn about Full Tilt or Stars for that matter?

Pokerstars have just started letting USA players start cashing out funds. Not just some of the funds but all of them. This is going to get worse before it gets better.
