Re: Crticism of the PPA and its effects

One of the things I think most folks miss is a little longer perspective. Online poker grew up the way it did; we cannot change that and because it was so lucrative for so many, a lot of folks really...

Re: The New York Times should have a good article about the PPA.....

It isn't terribly surprising the NYT would consider an article since a prominent long time NY politician has become chairman of the organization in question. My guess is the piece is mostly a "hey...

Your take is interesting; I have pondered an ad-based model for awhile. Can you tell me (since we don't know who you work for) if the rake model needs to be so onerous? In other words, are the sites...
