Paul Harris hosts a poker radio show and wrote about this on his blog: http://paulharrisonline.blogspot.com/2011/04/online-pokers-black-friday.html He points out some things that are worthwhile to keep in mind: online poker sites can afford top class attorneys to fight the DOJ and even if the DOJ is successful at shutting down these companies, casinos and card rooms are all over the place and dedicated players will have no trouble finding real life games. As for Poker After Dark, casinos should be able to find a way to organize to buy national ads to remind watchers that they can take part in a poker game going on locally. -- TV or Not TV ....
