I was talking with regards to the rake not raping the games like in France. I guess we won't really know until the cash games are up and running, so perhaps I'm way off base here.
Regardless, like TE says, France and Italy players had the same voice American players had when the UIGEA got shoved up our asses, none. That's why they got the raw deal they got. We have a strong voice now, which is part of why a ****ty state bill for players hasn't passed. It'll also be why amendments in our favor will be made before HR2267 passes, if at all.
