Jim, you really aren't funny, especially when you try to be. Please stick to losing your food money every week and pretending you can play good poker. That's the only way you'll ever get any laughs.

Yea, makes sense for MGM/Harrahs to pool together and get the govt to shut down online gaming. Then US companies come in and buy out all the sites and their customers at a discount, then magically the govt decides to regulate it and MGM and Harrahs have a virtual monopoly on online gaming.

Hmmm...this is a little on the conspiracy theory side, but it may have been a factor.

Or at least, the US casinos didn't think supporting online gambling was in their interests, and so they never bothered. (I don't think the explicit 'discount' scenario was something they really thought about, but who knows) If they actually do lobby, that would motivate lawmakers quite a bit.

If the LV movers are looking into buying Party, you can be pretty sure it's coming back to the U.S., the biggest possible market (at least until our currency collapses), imo. I think this is great news. It never made sense to me in the first place anyways, the legislation, because look at how much business those sites do. It's too much money being made to just try to stamp it out of existence. That's not what the venal swine in government do.

I think it's gonna go into another generation pretty soon, with the major Vegas players seeing representation online, and then it's gonna get bigger than it ever was. Here's to hoping. Peace.

I forgot to add that I will continue to play online even if they publish a law tomorrow that says the penalty for doing so is death by stoning. And I encourage everybody to have exactly that attitude; just ignore them.

In the world I see - you are stalking fish through the online canyon forests around the ruins of UIGEA law. You'll wear leather clothes that will last you the rest of your life. You'll climb the wrist-thick kudzu NL stakes that wrap the Party Poker Tower. And when you look down, you'll see tiny figures pounding uNL, laying strips of chips on the empty poker table of some online poker website.

Party is not as valuable as Stars or FTP. Their public status will inflate the amount of money U.S. corporations will need to pay. Their absence from the US market will also hurt them and increase the value of Stars and FTP.

How much would someone pay for Stars and/or FTP?

Would this be a good time to invest in party poker or short it?
