Strangely, Frank alluded to this bill in his interview on holdemradio. He doesn't like the idea of exemptions for certain games and joked about canasta ladies wanting an exemption next.

Frank can go [censored] himself then.

A carve-out for poker isnt' Frank's preference, but he is a supporter of Wexler's legislation. I'm not sure if he'll cosponsor or not....I guess we'll find out today.

carve out for poker is easier to pass

id much rather see poker get an exemption that see online slots still be legal, i wish theyd get rid of all slots and BS, cause i hate the way online casinos wont let u play BJ and poker and make u play slots to get ur bonuses, or else make u bet 50x as much.

thanks to full tilt and stars for sticking to just poker and not offering sportsbook, BJ and other games like some sites have along with poker. way to go guys, maybe u could get approved for a license if this bill passes.
