End of an Era

Apr 14, 2009 03:09 AM. Post 1
Well folks, after almost ten years of fun and games, it is with a heavy heart and a tear in my eye that I have to announce that this is it; as of 11:00 CET today, Tuesday the 14th of April 2009, PokerRoom.com will no longer be open for online poker.

PokerRoom first opened for business in 1999 and through its originality and loyal player base quickly grew to be a giant of the online poker industry. We have seen players qualify online for just a few bucks and turn it into tens of thousands at the biggest poker tournaments in the world and seen guys that were used to playing against their mates in lounge rooms mix it up with the very best players in the world.

BEATME x taking a pot from Joe Hachem at the 2008 WSOP Main Event and then telling him to take it 'easssyyy' comes to mind. But as the saying goes, all good things must come to an end, and with the closure of PokerRoom comes the expansion and growth of bwin Poker. The huge amount of PokerRoom players who have migrated to bwin just proves that when one door closes, another one opens.

Anyone who has not transferred to bwin will only have the option to transfer when they log in to the website, but our community Pokah is still thriving and new Pokah sign ups will soon be available.

What else is there to say? It's been a lot of fun... thanks to everyone for making PokerRoom.com such a great place to be .. see you on bwin!

Wow,
I didn't realize until now that this, 4/14 is the last day. Sad I am. I sucked early and often. Lost $250 til the US outlawed real US cash playing. Wound up getting to $6.3 million in play from 4/2004. Enjoyed playing with many of you. I'll try bwin. The speed here was grand. Better than other sites. Just liked the feel of this site. Refilled like 34 times until I finally broke into the 10K tables and never went back. Loved the Hi-Lo Omaha. Came in 3rd twice in 1700 player tourneys. My greatest hits!! Had about a dozen straight flushes and alot of wasted/fun time. Good luck to all! LightsOut8
