Or at least such could be argued by anyone that has a reason to, and it would be hard to refute these claims to a public that is not as dialed in as we are.
What I am thinking about is what you posted about how casino operators don't like ipoker because grinders suck off much of the money. Obviously, if poker was excluded there would be an uproar and eventually it would be added back in, but how much time would be lost?
It just seems to me that if the UIGEA has taught poker players anything, it's that closing the barn door before the horse is out is greatly preferable than chasing the fool beast down after it gets out.
