I see correctly that you're getting 5 online poker rooms?
Tropicana, Ultimate, Golden Nugget, Borgata and PartyPoker?

I don't think he was suggesting they are approving anything WRT online poker - just that it's potentially a small step in that direction. The theory is that a state that won't permit full B&M casinos isn't likely to legalize online poker, and PA doesn't disprove that in any way.

Basically, he's suggesting that a state with more in the way of B&M gambling has a higher likelihood of approving online poker than one with less. That makes logical sense to me, and the empirical evidence so far seems to back it up, although the sample size is small.

Thanks.

I did NOT say he was suggesting that. Moreover and however, I DO disagree with KingKong its a small step. I consider it still for now as NO step. Yet, I said to him that of course brick and mortar poker in the state is better than no brick and mortar poker in the state, so do not get your hopes up otherwise for anything else IMHO, especially if you want to pursue it as a profession in New York.

Again Bobo, if you do not understand where there is disagreement as basis of conversation then better to mind your own business for starters.

Let's just agree to disagree.

That's cool. Remember, I hope you are right. But uh oh, lol, you are not a lawyer are ya? That's fine too. The only reason I bring that question up is b/c everyone I know who says that line is either an attorney or just someone who loves to argue.

Not a lawyer and I really don't like arguing. But, I do like hearing other opinions on topics I'm interested in. By no means do I think I'm right all the time.

Damn skippy ditto, lol. Well I sure as hell hope you're right on online poker "eventually" coming to ny after brick and mortar now. Let me ask you this, considering it is a small step: how long generally do you think it would be when online poker does come online? If my understanding is correct, you should first keep in mind that it will be at least around another 3-4 + years just for when the b&m casinos are built and finally have their grand opening. Do you honestly think online poker will come online here before then?

so, would you be playing against ROW partypoker people when this happens?

No

No. As stated above.

Grasp the concept that the USA government is not the leader to get online poker and gambling regulated. The USA government gave the states, i.e. Nevada, Delaware and New Jersey, etc. (at this writing) the opportunity to regulate its own borders.

Therefore, you can play online poker and/or gamble within the borders of the state that has legislated the legality of online gambling and regulates it. Not ALL games are available in ALL states. Nevada has ONLY online Poker.

It is NOT all inclusive for those that reside in the State.

A visitor, any visitor when inside the borders of the state can utilize the services of the online gambling sites within the state after qualifying for acceptance as a player - Age, Identification, SS Number, etc. This is regulated by the State and GPS Identification is also required. The site will identify where you are physically trying to play.

Players physically outside of the state CAN NOT participate. This means all persons in the ROW. In the case of New Jersey, everyone outside of its borders are ROW when it comes to online gambling.

This is today. In the future there is opportunity for other states to form pacts that will allow all people covered within the legislation to have access to the sites. Other states will have to approve online gambling on a state by state basis.

In the future, the Federal Government may legislate. It has had many bills already stalled and rejected over the past years. (See all the threads relating to this)

The state of New Jersey looks forward to the possibilities and challenges.

Seriously, you don't want to do it. New Jersey is straight hood. You might wind up shot. It's like a war-torn third-world country there. Think Detroit. Abandoned, gutted buildings and roving crack addicts. You will be mugged. Absolutely you will be mugged or worse. Just wait for federal legislation, dudes.

99.9999% of New Jersey is the opposite of this. And there is no need for any normal person to ever visit or even see areas like this.

I've lived in South Jersey for the past 27 years. Before that I lived in Bermuda. Coming from the most beautiful place on Earth I can still honestly say that NJ is a wonderful place to live...

You might want to take a look at his location.

Yeah. Okay. My location says NJ, and I've been living here all of my life except for two months in Utah, one year in Florida and a few trips to South America. But I'm not lying when I say that I have been mugged three times in New Jersey. Once in Jersey City with my brother by a large gang of black kids. Once in Atlantic City, on the boardwalk, with my father, by a spanish boardwalk gang, and once in Rahway on New Year's Eve walking home from work by a bunch of white kids.

My father (who is 72 now) was beat up just a few years ago by a street gang of kids in Jersey City who were playing "knock out." He now has a metal plate in his head from the incident.

So yeah, I was trolling before, but New Jersey isn't Salt Lake City. It's violent. That's no lie.

For as small as Jersey is, you sure haven't gone very far. There are so many nice places in New Jersey.

That does not sound very encouraging.

Maybe online will be safer. Behind locked doors.

And I've been living here for 22 years and I'm white and skinny (6 foot 155 lbs) and I work in the worst areas including Newark, Jersey City, Paterson, Irvington, Elizabeth. And I go in to vacant boarded 2-4 family homes alone, in the worst drug slums, unarmed, and spend at least 30-45 minutes there per job. And I've been doing that for nearly 30 years. Never been touched, never been bothered. Nor have any of my NJ relatives or friends ever been mugged or robbed or touched. Nor has anyone I've ever known been mugged or robbed or touched in NJ.

Perhaps I've been running good, but what the poster is suggesting is false and ridiculous. Your odds are excellent in the bad areas. In the good areas, which is 99% of the state, there is simply as little issue with crime or thugs as any other area of the USA.

So the possible future poker capitol is fine. You'll love it here.

I believe you. I know families with kids who live in NJ, and they like it.

Typo, I'm multi-tabling. Proof: I got it right in the thread title.

That is an impressive record. To what do you attribute your complete lack of felonious assaults?

• they haven't noticed that you are there
• you are carrying a big hammer
• they want workers to fix up the neighborhood
• gang members are a noble bunch of misunderstood yoots
