Re: Absolute Scandal
Online poker is not regulated, and I'm not so sure that I want to see the US gov't get involved.
I feel like twoplustwo has done an amazing job of fact finding and checking, along with debunking myths and speculation. This is the result of a democratic forum where many of the posters are working together for common interest. I think forums like twoplustwo might be more powerful than many types of possible regulation.
I'm not sure how much anybody is going to be able to spin this. The cat is out of the bag, and the show is far from over.
I hate the current situation in the US as much as anyone, and I will be happy to see the day when everyone in the US can play poker easily, and when US companies can offer online poker and compete internationally.
While I find the Absolute scandal to be troubling, I'm not going to declare that the sky is falling. I think most poker players still want the same things I did last month. I want to be free to play poker online, without the US government's intrusion, and I want an environment that is friendly and inviting to everyone that might be interested.
I thank everyone at twoplustwo who's working so hard to make these things possible.
