There’s no way to sugar coat it, the ban of online poker in the US really sucks! And I for one can’t wait until sites like PokerStars and FullTilt Poker can once again accept US Players and I can get back on the virtual tables and start winning some cash.

Unfortunately, that seems to be a ways off still, and we need to find other ways to satisfy our competitive online spirits.

One thing I’ve started doing is playing video games for money. VirgingGaming allows you to challenge opponents in cash games at your favorite PS3 and XBox Live games. They even have a big money Tournaments coming up over the weeks ahead- including a $1 Million Madden Tournaments.
