I was going to do my writeup this weekend of my lovely week in LA but spent most the weekend sick and in bed.
Late tonight I get an email asking about my thoughts on this igaming legislation that was pushed through at the last hour. Well it just f'n sucks. Frist is doing this to build a platform for a push to become the next president in the US. I might be Canadian but I will fork over some good poker earned coin to ensure that doesn't happen. Regulate the industry similar to the way you handle land based casinos... this isn't about gambling addiction since you allow horse racing and state run lotteries you retarded ass. Poker players are probably the most logical people who play at a casino since we rely on skill vs. pure luck to win. Lotteries should be banned in my mind because the idiots who buy those tickets have no clue that it is another tax.
On a cruise I was on last year I went to the casino on the ship to look around. Spent 45 minutes there and went back to my room and the wife asked "How much did you lose?" "Lose I responded? I couldn't even find a game I would be willing to play because the odds were so poor" completely sickened by the cash others pushed towards the dealers. Prior to poker I probably wouldn't mind "playing" a few games at the casino but now.... it is just so -EV.
Don't ban those gambling activities Frist as you keep saying sorry to the Aboringinals for stealing there land by allowing them to run casinos. Oh but those casinos are on land and people don't get addicted there right?
The fishtank called the US not allowed to play.... this is the worst thing that could happen to online poker. I am devastated .... not much else to say.
As I heard at Disneyland... it is a small world after all!

We americans are a wiley bunch. We will find a way around any laws set in place, regardless of the consequences. The closest parallel I can think of to this situation is alcohol prohibition in the 20s; both were popularly supported by the majority of the public, both were passed despite only being favored by a minute but zealous religious sect, both will ultimately lead to catastrophic financial failure. Good thing we will get to blame Bush for it.
And in case I wasn't clear on that point, yes, I am blaming bush for the Great Depression. I don't care if he wasn't alive then.
