Mr. Turbo:
This is really not that surprising when you consider the number of cheating scams that have occurred and the gentle "slap on the wrist" punishments that have been meted out to the guilty perpetrators.
I received an "Emergency Email" this morning from the PPA extolling me to contact my state Attorney General to voice my concern over some anti online poker proclamation that our AG is considering signing. The PPA was emphatic in insisting that I should "stand up for poker" and let my voice be heard. They insisted, in the email, that "legal and regulated poker has worked just fine - as demonstrated by the regulated brick and mortar casinos." My question to the PPA is as follows: Where in the hell was the PPA while all this cheating and scamming was occurring on the internet sites? Answer: They had their hand out taking money from those same sites!
As long as the PPA (and the AGA) sit back and don't say (or do) a damn thing about all this cheating and corruption in poker, I won't lift a finger (or send a single email) in support of my "right" to play internet poker. I'm of the attitude that as long as these cheating dirt bag poker players continue to be treated with kid gloves (because it would be "embarrassing" to crack down on them) then we don't really need internet poker (or any other kind of poker) here in the United States. I would rather have no games at all in lieu of games filled with cheats and scammers - and casino operators who are loath to clean the mess up.
