Yeah. This is a perfect example of "big-stack" play, making a call w/a crappy, little 5-2o. Our (U.S.) govt., is really, just pushing it's weight around, imo. The only real reason for their actions last week is they're hunting for any funds that can be found.
We know that playing online poker is a form of entertainment. It's a fking card game, for Pete's sake. What bothers me is that the online poker companies (PS's, FT, Ult/Abs)) knew that this day was going to come. They operated in a, "Bring it on, we're ready for ya", attitude; which, I thought, they'd have their legal t's crossed and i's dotted. In other words have their sh!t together. I'm not saying they still don't, I'm just implying that the poker sites, affected, have yet to ease the minds of their clients.
I know, it takes a bit to get the ball rolling, especially when you have to put it back together. This will be a true test of patience, for all parties involved. I would push for a "right-for-online-poker-players'" march to the capital in DC, but who's gonna hold the table while we play cards? I believe that's one of the problems we have, here in Texas. We want legal casinos and card-rooms, but to go out and get the idea legislated would cut into our poker playing time. That's supposed to be funny... pfft. Enjoy the read, hpc'ers.
