[o0mr_bill0o]

So, I just took about 2 and a half months off of poker. And I come back and everything's different! It appears that the party skins broke off or something? Can someone give me a short synopsis of what the hell happened? also, where are all the fish now? I used to play empire exclusively because of rakeback, but now if all the fish are at party, i might have to move back there. any help out there at all?
