Default Re: The Future of Online Poker for \"Danger States\"

I'm not sure why you think if legalized even the non danger states will block, but even if they do we will still be where we are at right now. The current US friendly sights will still operate.
If you think they will block if legalized then we should be against legalization then?

I don't think there's any reason to be against pro-poker legislation. If states plan to block poker, they can do so with UIGEA. I don't concur that all states will ban Internet poker. If we were that unpopular, we'd have been banned long ago, and we'd be doomed now at the federal level as well.

Anyway, the reason UIGEA passed in the first place was that too many of us thought we'd be better off without legislation, so we didn't fight back. This made us appear weak. Our solution is to act with strength, not weakness, IMO. Fight for pro-poker legislation at the state and the federal level. Something will fill the vacuum. If it isn't some form of legalization, it will be a ban. It won't be nothing.
