I think there's too much emphasis here on the bill's effect on online gaming (to the exclusion of live). If Skallagrim is right...

Actually, the current bill is online poker specific. The PPA's mission is to deal with the right's of ALL poker player's. If this bill dealt with "live" poker games, I assure you that we would be all over it.

I'm a little pieved that the Globe articleonly mentioned that I felt the bill "was laughable", when in fact I told the reporter this was an issue that I am extremely passionate about. He twisted my words when I said; "if you really think about the double standard that exists it's almost laughable." I spoke to the reporter for 20 minutes and the best that he could come up with was that snippet that contains no officiall PPA position whatsoever.

I apologize to all if anyone feels as though I have let them down, because I feel as though I was completely misrepresented.

On a personal note, I want everyone to know that I DO NOT feel this is in any way a joking matter. I guess I will have to be more careful how I speak to reporters in the future.

All In,
