I got this e-mail from RoyalCardClub.com today and chuckled at the part that I've bolded here:

Isn't it about time the Poker players all move to one state together to consolidate our power?

Pick a state.

Isn't it Nebraska or South Dakota? ISTR one of them looking for ways to pass a state law specifically allowing internet poker as an addition to their gambling laws.

You are getting some very bad answers here. Everyone knows it is Canada.

It's North Dakota who had a bill passed through one of their legislative bodies. However, their Attorney General has said recently that it wouldn't be wise attempting to get online poker/gambling legalized in that state.

Wyoming. Only about 500,000 people live there. 250K show up to the polls in 2004. Chit, we could elect Phil Helmuth for Senate to just piss everyone off.

Wyoming is good. Also Montana. Poker is a big part of the tradition of these two states, and very low populations. And very freedom, live-and-let-live oriented. Montana didn't even have speed limits until recently!

OK, Montana and Wyoming. Either one sounds good.

Any good plan requires a back up plan.
Anybody know the status of Puerto Rico?
Are they considered part of the US for the online ban?
Can a US citizen move there hassle free?
Man, that would save me the trouble of moving to Costa Rico and I could still work on my tan and maybe learn to surf.

North Dakota passed a bill through it's state House back in 2004 that allowed for a board to be set up to regulate internet gambling sites within the state. After a threat from the federal government, the state Senate balked and the bill died.

I vote for North Dakota. Poker is a big part of the state heritage here, but people seem to be evenly split in their support of it. However, the state's very small population would be easy to overcome, and there are already poker allies in the state legislature.

The biggest advantage, though, is that a large percentage of the state's population doesn't even know what "internet" is.

I'd vote for him just so he'd spend less time on tv poker.

guys come on, its not about what state is the most gambling friendly. We need to go to Wyoming where there are so few people we could be the majority. Once we legalize gambling all the fish will come to our wonderful state. It's a fool-proof plan, I don't know why I didn't think of it earlier.
