That´s what I don´t get. Bid Ask is 30 50. Awfully low concerning the apparent scenario we now face. Unfortunately, I have trouble believing they know something we don´t.

The "NROG" thread is claiming that the language in the ports bill is the same as the Leach bill. Can somebody refresh my memory on whether this includes a Wire Act revision? I know it has the banking stuff in it.

Berge, what was Frist just saying there about the PS Bill on CSPAN2??

Perhaps, because of all the calls, they won't go after sites who only offer poker. Maybe poker will be exempt. Just maybe.

I'm literally sick to my stomach. I know this feeling. I've had it before, when I've broken up with serious girlfriends. Only thing is, I've always gotten another girlfriend. Where can I get another poker?

if im understanding correctly, frist is proposing that they have a vote on the bill that the house is passing before the house even passes it?

I'm going to go grab some grub since we are in a holding pattern.

Be back once they get rolling again and if I have time to post between reviewing the whole report.

Yeah, I think this rates about with a bad breakup on the crisis-o-meter. Fortunately I have some money saved up and it isn't my only job -- I feel bad for the kids that dropped out of college to play cards and stuff. Also, I didn't really see myself playing internet poker for 15 hours a week when I was 40, so if this happened sooner than expected, it was perhaps only by a year or two.

Not that this is necessarily The End of The Poker Boom. I certainly lean toward the pessimistic side in terms of what effect this will have on one's ability to make sick money from playing poker, but there is a lot of uncertainty as to how this all plays out on the enforcement side.

Nate, can you please expand? In other words, could you please make your best guess about what you think this means to those people that were expecting to make a living playing internet poker. Thoughts that you have on enforcement as well as work arounds would be greatly appreciated.
