First we hear word that Full Tilt has plans to open a sports book, and now, apparently, according to an email from Doyle himself — or at least on from his room, with his face and signature embedded — they\’ve got \”big changes\” in store, and it seems to include references to bona-fide online gambling:
Big Changes Are Just Around the Corner!

This week, there will be no Bounty tournament as we transition to our incredible new platform. The Bounty will return on January 21st at 9:30pm ET. We will be sending each of our players detailed emails describing the new exciting changes and what needs to be done to smoothly transition to our new network.
May the Flop Be With You, I\’ll see you in The Bounty on the 21st.
I\’m not really sure what\’s behind this sudden switch to pre-UIGEA standards. But these apparent moves by the likes of Doyle\’s Room and Full Tilt almost certainly aren\’t being made cavalierly without thought to the current, 2009 political sitch. And January 21, of course, is a significant date in non-poker America.
