Daaaamn! I remember this like it was yesterday, I wasn't directly affected by that first ban in US immediately but later on they made it unattractive here too/semi-ban/whatever. (EU)
The day it was banned in the US I had a lot of connection issues and when I refreshed browsers, sometimes I saw the same 3L agencies page US citizens would see when they launched the sites.
I was active on PS and Full Tilt back then too. I remember I started by completing some weird poker-quiz, received 12€ for that for free and then I grinded these 12€ up to 4 digits in like a month, 5 digits after 3 months, fun times! 😂
I stopped when I noticed it became addiction. (was rude to uninvolved people IRL for seemingly no reason after huge losses 😂 )
I didn't want to lose my job back then because of it, so I took the decision and stopped playing.
Wasn't easy but certainly worth the experience. Now I only play Texas Hold'em for fun occasionally against very close friends, once a year or so..but yeah I was there. 😎 My Bitcoin awareness-phase came much later tho. 😅 P.S. your pfp: Very sad Hunter isn't with us anymore, I wonder what that mutant would have to say these days. (pandemic, the world today a.s.o.), he certainly would have made a difference..
