New Wired article about Frank/PPA

Excerpts:

"Indeed, a number of states already allow high-skill versions of poker such as Texas hold 'em, Omaha Hi Lo and seven-card stud"

Uh, what? Unlike those low skill poker games?

"Stars like Chris Moneymaker and Greg Raymer cut their teeth in online poker rooms, then crossed over to win world championships in live tournaments."

Oooooor, Greg could have "cut his teeth" at Foxwoods. Whichever.

Not a bad article though, and informative I thought, especially with respect to bills that are not Frank's.

My favorite passage:

[ QUOTE ]
The novice used to pay the rent for Boy Wonder, who started playing poker full-time after graduating from Haverford College in 2005. He earned around $1,000 a week playing in $1/2 and $2/4 limit games, which specify the amount a player can bet during rounds of play. But now the game is more trouble to him than it's worth. "It's unstable," he says.
