i just saw this in another thread... HERE...

"Interesting tidbit – apparently this legislation’s being sponsored by the commercial vendor for electronic poker tables."

i have played electronic tables, and i can say that i'd much rather play on my computer. freaking politics.

I was so pumped when I heard this on the radio this morning. Now to find out he's nerfing the game by only allowing poker on the electronic tables really kinda sucks. Better than nothing? I'm torn. I will probably end up going anyway, but I don't see these tables being very popular. I really like to scoop-n-stack.

so have they already talked about poker yet or is it slated for later?

I can't be certain since I've only been listening for awhile, but I haven't seen any updates online saying otherwise.

The Pokerati blog said that their team got a call at 7:38pm CST to head over to the capital to get ready. I started listening a little after 8CST, so I don't think they have discussed it yet.

This interior design bill they've been going over for the past half hour or more is absolutely brutal.

i agree....how long will they go its 9:30 central time

[corndog]

I am pretty sure they will go until their agenda is complete. These committees only meet every week or two weeks so they can't really afford a backlog.

[shipdapaper]

i think they are winding down...... i hope they finish it out

[corndog]

finally up now

[shipdapaper]

here we go

[corndog]

Sounds like it will NOT be changing to just having electronic tables. Great news.. Now we just need it to pass.
