Default Guys like Brunson and Woods

I'd be curious to know what owners of sites are doing, like Doyle Brunson and James Woods? Are they doing any lobbying on their own?

James Woods owns a site? Which is it? And he hasn't made a good movie since Any Given Sunday.

Any Given Sunday was not a good movie. Far from it.

According to Super System II p.91, Doyle is just lending his name to the site for a hefty endorsement fee.
James Woods has been in some pretty awsome history channel documentaries lately.

I read somewhere that Sportingbet, which owns Paradise, hired a big lobbying firm. I don't really know what you mean by "lobbying on their own." Professional lobbyists would be the best people for the job.

The Poker Players Alliance (read: PartyGaming) hired the Federalist Group to do lobbying and legal type things
