Online Poker Players Lose Money After Black Friday

Since the US Government acted against three major online poker companies it is estimated that as many as 50,000 poker players have lost their jobs playing poker. Black Friday is the name given to April 14th, the day that PokerStars, Full Tilt Poker, Absolute Poker and UB.com domain names were seized by the US. While most of those poker players likely have full time jobs outside of the poker rooms, it is undeniable that some at least have lost a significant source of income.
