CNBC Online-poker segment (x-post)

Tonight's CNBC segment on online-poker including a discussion with Annie Duke, Mike Sexton, and the PPA guy (Mike Bolacek or something??) is available for viewing on their website.

Annie represents 'the cause' extremely well imo.

As much as we all hate Annie, she still did a really good job.

Thanks for the link, MB. Nice little segment for online poker, but still alot of work to be done.

PS - I like how Sexton "hoped the US gov't would look into regulating and taxing it first" when he was asked if the next step was a court battle/litigation.

Annie Duke was really good. Awesome debate skills!

To little to late. Where was Mike Sexton and Party Poker six months ago? Maybe we would have had, at least, a debate on the senate floor.

Why is the guy who is leading the fight on Capitol Hill the 3rd best speaker in this group of 3 ?

This guy sucks at public speaking. He seriously needs to recruit someone much quicker on their feet than himself, to be the face for, and speaking on behalf of the PPA.

Yeah, that helps. Maybe they should just go away and not try?

One problem is that the law says a "game involving chance" not a "game of chance". Big difference there, as clearly chance is involved in poker.
