cuz online poker has been banned in the USA, hopefully it'll eventually be back, but until then, I don't think anybody in the USA shud really start poker, rather focus on something else

I'm super glad this was bumped. I hadn't seen it yet. Great thread. Rekrul is such a staple of this community.

wow, great thread

That is sad to hear. There's this korean girl at my school (and a korean guy) who I've both asked. They both used to live in Korea. This was 4 or 5 years ago, only a little after Rekrul's experiences. They confirmed it when I asked if it's true that there are starcraft commercials on TV and that everyone knows about it.

So I'm a little confused about it. Rekrul says that most have probably played it at least once in their lives, so although it's the size of wrestling, it's nothing more than that? Because for sure I do not think most americans, for example, have wrestled before ^^

So basically it's not the "football" of Korea is what I'm asking. But what is this about it being SK's national sport? (not officially)
Is that foreigners hyping it up, or do koreans there consider it so because the only starcraft scene in the world belongs in korea? (at least back then)

So, 6 years later, what are you doing Rekrul? Your first post that I've read was about Idra vs F91, btw.

is online poker really banned on US? I thought that only the companies that got caught doing illegal transactions were banned, like PokerStars and FTP.
Part of the inhumanity of the computer is that, once it is competently programmed and working smoothly, it is completely honest.
