Will they close down to US players like PartyPoker did?

Party Gaming closed in the US because they were a publicly traded company with stock on the UK stock market. The directors of the company didn't want to risk arrest if they ever visited America.
PokerStars is based in the Caribbean and is privately owned. They have announced they have no intention of pulling out of the American market.
There are others too. See link.

Depending on how the new anti-internet gambling legislation is enforced it is quite possible that a large site like PokerStars might have to shut out US players. I think you should be more worried about services like Neteller because without them you can't fund an account on sites like Stars.

It's difficult to know, but for now every site open for USA players, will stay that way untill the final result. The bill came on the 30 september, a next " talk" should apparently have place 270 days later.....so we see.

Pokerstars, Full Tilt and other sites allowing Americans are here to stay. Take a look at their press releases here: http://www.ultimatepokerbankroll.com/article.php/internet-gambling-ban-poker-sites-status and you can see they mean business. They are privately owned and are not in danger of banning Americans like crappy sites like Party.
