If Doyle got jailed im pretty sure there would be a huge response from the poker community as a whole.

exactly. just like we all came together to fend off this legislation!!

I wasn't going to say it but I'm glad that someone did. What makes anyone think that the general poker community would rally to his support when everyone pretty much ignored this pending legislation?

Because if Doyle got arrested, alot of big name players in the spot light probably would all get together and organize something. The well known pros didnt do much at all to help prevent this from happening to online poker, all we really had was the PPA. You don't think if the likes of daniel negreanu, greenstein, raymer all organized something it would be more powerful? The reason the online poker community didn't come together was because there really was no leaders to step up and do it... i mean its the internet, the channels of communication are not as wide spread to the masses like people who are in front of the TVs and can reach mr joe schmoe whose at home watching. For example, that protest in DC that was organized by some lady nobody's ever heard of was horrible, if it had been helmuth, ivey, negreanu, raymer, and a bunch of other well known pros and better planned it woulda had a much better result.

a bunch of well known pros WERE affected in a huge way by this legislation. all of the guys who have equity shares or major interestes in online sites. the silence was deafening.
