I have a meeting set with my State Rep next week, and one set with another Florida political leader the middle of next month. Moving closer to finding a sponsor for our bill.

Great meeting today with my Florida Representative Chris Latvala, along with Donna Blevins, Poker Mindset Coach. Chris was very receptive to our iPokerFlorida draft bill. He plays poker on occasion at Derby Lane Poker Room and Silks Poker Room. He gave us a lot of insight and support for our campaign to authorize Internet Poker in Florida. Looking forward to working with him further as the year progresses toward the next Florida legislative session.

Post here if you'd like help to set up and meet with your Florida Representative. Now is the time that they are choosing which bills to sponsor for 2016.

although i could be wrong when i say this, i feel like i remember reading how you were advocating for no huds in the use of playing if things were to get regulated? is this still true or not? i tried to look briefly on the website but didn't find anything about this topic

anyhow, thanks for the work you have put in

1. Determines and displays to a player a suggestion for play action the player should make.

2. Determines and makes a play action for a player.

3. Displays to any person the values of the hidden cards, tiles, or similar playing tokens or electronic versions of such tokens held by a participant during an authorized game, that would not otherwise be known under the game and betting rules to such person.

4. Displays to a player another player‘s history of play that would not otherwise be known by the player, or a playing profile of another player based on such history.

So if the HUD is based on your play history with other players, it would be acceptable. If it's based on a database of data-mined hand histories, it would not be.

The sites could also set their own prohibitions in addition to this, available in their T&Cs.

I apologize if this is a dumb question, but do such programs exist? I assume in layman's terms its saying that no program can be used to tell people what cards are held by another player, is this essentially just a reference to "superuser" accounts like with past scandals?

1. Such use or possession is solely for purposes of testing an Internet poker network or developing protections against such a program, tool, or device;

2. Such program, tool, or device is not used in play involving live wagering;

3.
