Default Re: Why won\'t all the states just opt out

I'm hoping that the panel or whoever decides are not French or Italian. Call it a coin flip with us having the pocket pair.

I hope for all of us that whoever is on the panel plays small to mid pair against an overly agressive player like the Bush Administration who politically is freerolling with "us" the only ones with anything at risk. Not my opinion of major +EV action there.

But I as part of "we" only stand to loose as a "major" win would be back to the pre-UIGEA "stalemate" with Hanaway types still opining that all on-line is illegal. Well not for the individual players, depending on their State of domicile, and not for off-shore operators who can't be touched. Stuck with some form of e-pass tax, because the US banking system can't figure out how to get enough of the poker pie.

Like Doyle's saying he was comming back, just another semi-US friendly clone of the current status quo. No major US banking for transfers, still fighting the Foes of Fun types spouting off about the crack of on-line gaming, but now with most on-line grinders happy to know they will get their monthly checks, and the fish still confused, even with MGM or other US based but non-bank backed e-pass type deposits.

Yeah that is a rosey picture for future PPA fundraisers. Just barely enough entertainment $10 a week players to keep the grinder's monthly nut covered, just enough US legitimaticy for even the causal player to continue and no spark left for potential political action. Bryan guess you'd get to go skiing after all!

Not my idea of a major pot or much of a hand worth playing for +EV!

Hey Tuff, you think I could get poli-sci majors to watch me screaming at my monitor to 2+2 legislative posts they way you rose to fame cussing at idiots playing on-line? That or psych majors doing doctoral work! [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
