***Official PL article thread*** - Page 10 - Poker Legislation

But that doesn’t address a deeper issue shared by many Republicans, including Kyl: They just don’t want the federal government getting into the business of gambling.

I gotta quit reading these articles.

Screw the articles, it's what Kyl and Reid said that's most disheartening...

Loveman: "In the event that we don't see progress in federal legislation, perhaps by the end of the year, then we will become much more enthusiastic about a state-by-state process."

Wow that sucks.

A Cardplayer Mag article published today stated that "One industry insider told Card Player that the chances of a poker bill happening in 2010 are 50-50 between Thanksgiving and Christmas."

So the general consensus on my table at CalShark.com is that online sites now are rigged, new ones won't be, they found out about the site from an article and signed up.

Umm... LT22, I think its pretty immature, if not childish to make fun of that site because of one TINY grammatical imperfection. Let's try to be *optimistic* about this positive step for poker, rather than hate on it? Ok? Thanks.

and by the way

Typical free-play hand - AA vs. 92s all-in.

Glad you sucked out on the river with the quads. That took some skill.

Excuse me, sir! I stealthily checked it down to the river to trap my opponent, whereupon he/she went all in.

And uh, then I sucked out.

I bet you can Buy some nice Drink/Gift with that pot. What do they serve? Also, congrats on winning "a hand with Pair" to unlock the "Combinations" achievement.
