Amaya continues to make such short-sighted changes that I'm convinced the company's strategy is just to "flip" the PokerStars asset as soon as possible.
At this point, I have to think there is online poker fatigue creeping into the CA legislature, and you have to wonder how much longer people will pay attention to an issue that perennially goes nowhere.
A company with a long-term plan would realize that there is more money to be made in entering a California market 5 years late than never entering it at all. That's without even mentioning the possibility of CA driving other states - where Amaya could compete right now - to do the same.
The only reason not to let this go through is a fear of having to respond to a potential buyers question: "Why should I pay this price when you aren't even in the largest US market?" sometime in the next five years.
