Raising awareness of legislation forum - your views please

[RiverMustelid]

I am new to 2plus2. Want to thank you for the superb quality and breadth of information provided by Berge et al on legislation.

I play on party poker, and have found people to be extremely ignorant regarding what is happening. "All the sitesare closing" is a typical sentiment.

I have noticed some people on the tables are wary about mentioning this site (competitive advantage?), but my instinct is that people need guidance, and therefore I should point them towards e.g. site response summary link.

What is the general view?

Thanks again

Anyone who refuses to point people to this forum in fear of "educating the fish" is a complete moron. The vast majority of those people won't bother to become winning players anyway, and a slightly tougher game is better than no game.

If you want to help them out, explain to them if it gets mentioned in the chat box that there's nothing to fear and that their money is safe. I wouldn't mention it otherwise, their money really is as no risk and it could have negative consequences at the table.

keep the public out of this site (sorry 2p2 owners lol)
we don't need more people studing poker.

[/ QUOTE ]lol...I agree ( except for the moron part ),the reason people dont improve their game is because they lack the discipline or the willingness to.Not because information on this subject is hard to obtain.I wouldnt go around promoting any site,but if someone needed and asked for help understanding this crisis better ,i would help.

As i asked in another tread:

Is there any way we can inform the fish what to do when they realize that party doesnt want them anymore? Is there a way to make it such that when they go to google to find out what is going on they get a website written by a 2+2er that informs them that its still ok to go to whatever other sites. They will prolly write something in the search like 'new poker laws' or 'poker sites that are still legal'. Currently you still get all sorts of outdated info when you google those two.

If a few poker sites bail, its ok. If a 20k+ party fish leave the industry, we are screwed.

With all the effort ppl are putting into discussing this with the pros, someone who knows how should be informing the fish.

I think in the next two weeks there is going to be a rush of fish on google and we need to be ready for them.
