bye doyle!

doyle's room officially shut out US players today. they set up a process to transfer your money to full tilt, even including a conversion of your action points. that's a lot better than what most places have done (see tony g's process).

i have some money still in there and apparently waited a little too long to try to get it out. i didn't play much at doyle's room other than 1 refundable bounty tourney and some experiments in badugi (fun but crazy game somewhat similar to triple draw). so i only have 40-some bucks there and a handful of action points, but hopefully i can get that transferred sometime soon. i hadn't played there in so long, that i forgot my password, and emailed them for a new one, but they are not surprisingly very slow in responding right now, so here i wait...

this US ban is starting to get really annoying. i have a couple hundred bucks stuck in the neteller siezed funds, but that's nothing compared to this guy.

so back to doyle's room: here are some comments from the lobby chat room as they were counting down to the US ban deadline:

cheysemi: IS A BALL GOING TO DROP....SHOULD WE COUNT DOWN?
