Supposedly a site not covered by the legislation; anyone have any experiences with this?

Note that this "news article" is basically one long affl schpeal.

Pokernews has done a fantastic job of comming off as a pretty lousy organization.

wow, that's awesome! I've talked about this idea with friends of mine before, really cool that someone is actually trying to make this happen. When expounding the idea, I was thinking about making it so comparable to bridge - that is, reseting your chip count at the end of each hand. My idea was - you get the same cards, but you lose duplicity at the end of the first hand due to changes in chip stacks. Of course it won't catch on - the crossover btwn poker and bridge players is much smaller than it was 80 years ago when being a card player meant you knew all betting games (and bridge may have been a more common way to gamble on cards). Also, losing players will become even more convinced of online collusion than they already are.
