    Default poker is not banned in US

    hi

    thats the impression they would like to give

    poker is NOT illegal in the US - the UIGEA bill which they sneaked through only seeks to make it difficult by banning gaming transactions with the banks ... it was a sneaky and low atempt to derail online gaming - but it absolutely doesnt make poker or online gambling illegal - the powers that be just like to think so and think they can bring it down this way ... they have failed in that sense

    and hopefully finally they are starting to see sense and maybe we will finally get some common sense in the US legislation

    cheers scrawnybob

    Wow that is awesome. It almost seems like the senator is not talking out of his ass... you gotta love it. It is very cool to me how the debate of skill is involved in this undertaking. very groovy news bob.

    im really hoping this gets passed, or if not this, then another bill. poker is skill, plain and simple. yes there is a gambling aspect to it, but at its heart, its about reading your opponent, figuring out what they have and what they might do with it. its a far cry from betting $100 on red and hoping for the best.
