CA Online Poker Initiative!!

[TheEngineer]

If you were serious about this, you would have simply let the state of California determine the rules of the game. Why don't you trust them to establish rules that net them the most money? You've gotten WAY too much enjoyment over laughing at us to possibly claim you're serious.

Anyway, I oppose your effort because you turn your pet peeves into felonies, exactly as Frist, Goodlette, and Leach did. It's anti-freedom and it's anti-poker. Delete those provisions and you'll have lots of support. Continue your attempt to criminalize multitabling....you'll have our opposition.

I fail to understand your fixation on your anti-2+2er rules. If your initiative went through without the garbage, CA would likely prohibit HUDs on games they'd operate and sanction, anyway. You seem obsessed over multitabling. You do realize these guys keep the games going and the rake flowing, don't you? That's why most sites (all now, I think) permit it. Here's an example where you wish to handicap the state simply because you personally don't like something. You THINK it MAY help the fish, but YOU HAVE NO DATA -- JUST AN OPINION. The sites do have data and they allow it. You say you don't want it to be Party. Well, you know what? Party was VERY PROFITABLE! I think CA would like profits as well.

Note to others: can't someone else here living in CA author a reasonable poker initiative?
