Matt Affleck has had his share of bad beats in 2010, but believe it or not, a decision by PokerStars announced today might be the worst.

The world's largest online poker room has banned Affleck and the rest of the 6.66 million people who live in the state of Washington from playing real-money games. The decision comes a week after the state's Supreme Court ruled that a statewide ban on Internet gambling is not unconstitutional.
