Or any Las Vegas Sands properties.

PA online poker looks to be set back to the end of the year.

Thank you Sheldon Adelson! Scumbag of the year.

How any poker player would consider giving any of his properties business is mind boggling to me.

Don't care how great the games are.

By giving Adleson business you are funding legislation designed to destroy online poker.

You are keeping California and New York out of the online poker market and you are stopping inter state agreements.

If you don't care about the poker community, feel free to gamble there. His action sucked millions out of the poker community and shattered lives.

You’re also funding Donald Trump. And yes telling women of color (regardless if they are citizen or in Congress) is racism. No way around it. The money given to Venetian goes into Sheldons pocket. The money from his pocket goes to racist trump. Which he uses to create more hate. Follow the logic.

pros including 2p2ers helped destroy online poker on their own but i'll wait 3 hours for worse games somewhere else so he doesn't get 14 dollars an hour from me in rake- makes sense.
that will show the billionaire scumbag who is boss!

lmao@me not caring about the poker community
most people on this site and most pros in general have zero problem destroying games long term if it helps them short term and give zero ****s about the poker community. they'll do everything possible to ruin games and destroy online poker but then pat themselves on the back for not playing at the veneitian , pretending like that makes any difference at all in the grand scheme of things.get real.


i said this years ago- sure all things being equal and you're going to play 1/2 or 2/5 nl go play somewhere else.but back when i still played a lot of nl i didn't need someone who grinds 1/2 nl and has a million games to pick from in vegas tell me where i should go play 5/10 or 10/20 nl when there might be 5-10 games total running in vegas at those stakes. and when there are 3 hour wait lists at aria and wynn during wsop i don't need someone telling me where to play either.

the entire thing is a joke.people who mass multi table,use all kinds of software to fleece fish, suck the fun out of the game, live off of rakeback, are miserable to be around in live poker want to pretend they care about the poker community when they don't or cry about online poker being destroyed . aldelson is just the easy target for them. they care just as little as he does about the poker community- the difference is he's a billionaire and they aren't.

Before black Friday, the games everywhere were better.

The online multi table people with software packages targeting fish, I agree was awful, and also punitive to the poker community.

However, political donations not allowing me to play $1.00 Razz tournaments, in the comfort of my homes, pisses me off!

Unfortunately, I can not get Parx or Harrah's Chester to spread $1.00 Razz SNG's or even $1.00 Razz multi table tournaments. As much as I tried, my requests were consistently politely declined!

If we can get stupid Adelson out of the way, and get interstate back, the $1.00 Razz tournament market will SHINE ONCE AGAIN!

Look for Smudger, I'll be the guy with all the chips at the end!

I’m ok, buddy. I focus on things in life that actually matter. Like i said before, there’s another forum where you clowns can argue about your politics gangs (or whatever you call them) 24/7 with every ounce of energy you spend while awake.

I’ll keep playing the 5/10 at Venetian every summer when I’m in the states and remain happy about doing so.

Ciao!


PS. Don’t forget, there’s another forum for you psychos to discuss your nonsense. It’s not this one. Thanks again.

It is not politics ... It has to with being human and treating each others as human first.

I understand how for some of you priority is money and can't see pass that.

Calling out Hitler doesn't mean we are bringing up politics it means we are trying to save each other from what we should have learned form history.

Poker pro's only care about their bottom line. They don't care about no poker community. What a joke.
The Venetian will do just fine if the poker room closes anyway.
Your few dollars won't be missed

The world's #1 casino magnate Sheldon Adelson fighting against the legalization of online gambling because he allegedly thinks its bad for society is like Snoop Dog and Willie Nelson fighting against the legalization of marijuana because they believe it is bad for society.

No. It’s like Snoop Dogg and Willie Nelson running a chain of dispensaries and fighting against legalization of marijuana online sales because they allegedly think that would be bad for society.

Sheldon Adelson is a POS an everybody knows that. But it’s hard to blame him for trying not to lose any revenue to online gambling. If we as poker players should support him or not is a personal choice. Every live-only player has the right to oppose online poker if they think that’s bad for their own bottom line. No matter if that’s a reasonable fear or not.

I guess the beauty of Germans, and the German language,( even if it's too rigid!), is that they can formulate their thoughts so clearly.
Very well put.

Just to be clear, you think one of the most powerful men in the world telling American citizens of ethnic descent to 'go back to their own country' is something that doesn't matter in the world?

You are a ****.

I played perfessionally on line for years. Black Friday impacted my life greatly. I was forced to play live something which I did not want to do. At the time I felt my best earn would be at the V. Fantastic traffic, low rake, good comps, good floor, and excellent games. I logged thousands upon thousands of hours there. If I had not played there it would have cost my family significant $. When I am trading my time for dollars I want to do my best to maximize that.
That was my thought process.

Yeah, let's get that poker room closed via boycott. Then what are they going to do? Put in higher revenue pit games or slot machines in there. That will teach him.

Yeah but there are a lot of gamblers (including high rollers) who might not want to stay there if they have to walk a mile if they feel like playing poker.

FYP.

And to the Adelson lynch mob, rather than posting here, just ask Sheldon to close the V poker room and put in 200 slot machines instead. They could also save more money by spending less on poker marketing so there are even fewer new players entering the poker economy. You people...
