I’ve witnessed poor (criminal) politics, and it makes me sick! What’s even sicker is the fact that people “buy it”. Many people take the media reports as gospel, without questioning. I wish we could all read between the lines.
As you know, I’m outwardly against the “Unlawful Internet Gaming Enforcement Act”, and I’m looking forward to the day when this crap is overturned (for all the right reasons you’ve read here before).
So, I’m very much in support of Barney Franks and his tireless efforts to stop it! He has again introduced a bill that would DEFINE online gambling and legalize it. Yay!
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer reported that a Renton, WA lawyer’s campaign to make Washington state safe for Internet poker players lost again on Monday.
“A state appeals court rejected Lee Rousso’s arguments that a 2006 law that forbids Internet gambling in the state violates the clause of the U.S. Constitution that gives the federal government the right to regulate interstate commerce.”
“Last May, a King County Superior Court judge also ruled against Rousso on a day that 70 online poker players rallied outside the courthouse.
Ever since the illegal (or at the very least - immoral) passage (?) of the Port bill that contained (hidden within) the UIGEA the bettors in the US have been “breaking the law” at worst, and confused at best! We search for Sports Betting Online - Legally!

Perfecting your pokerface
Many non-poker players will say: ‘I could never play poker, I don’t have a poker face.’ However, in most low-stakes games this isn’t a very important aspect of the game because most players are usually too busy thinking about their own hand to monitor and observe your reactions in any detail. As long as you don’t completely give you hand away when you hit the nuts, by either shouting ‘Yes!’ or breaking into a ‘happy dance’, you should be okay. Read the rest…

Here comes another movie on my favorite subject: Gambling. You knew this was going to happen. With Poker being such a World-Wide phenomenon, it was only a matter of time until Hollywood produced a movie on the subject.
Closely following the hit “21″ (although I can’t imagine WHY it’s a hit - it was such a stinker - see my review here in an earlier post, or go over to Squidoo and view my squidoo lens - 21 - The Movie), comes “DEAL”, the first of many (?) movies with a poker theme.

I’ve had many questions from the thousands who have viewed my Videos on Craps. A surprising number of the questions are about the Casino I used for the videos, so I decided to reopen it…
Gambling has always been mentioned with Las Vegas in one breath. Nowhere has gambling been as lucrative and as consuming as it is in Las Vegas. Thus, Las Vegas is called the gambling capital and rightly so.
However, the introduction of the internet has proven that traditional gaming venues are becoming passe - or at least unnecessary.
Thus, here is a rundown of a few of the best gambling spots that you can find online. A word of precaution to the buyer. . .be careful.

Online articles, chats, and websites created by poker professionals are useful sources for great information, advice, and poker strategies. These sites range in topics from bluffing strategies to common mistakes that novices make. The House of Cards is a website that offers multimedia poker instructions from poker legends like Mike Caro and Lou Krieger.
It seems there’s another outlaw in town. A site that has been “friendly” to US Poker Players might have been wearing a Black Hat!
“Ultimate Bet” is now under investigation for cheating.
If that weren’t bad enough, UB is solely owned and operated by Tokwiro Enterprises ENRG, Route 138, Kahnawake, Quebec J0L 1B0, and is operated from the sovereign nation of the Mohawks of Kahnawake, located near Montreal Quebec.
PokerStars has released a version of their software for the Mac! I for one am very happy about this because…
I’ve wanted to try their site for a long time. This is truly something to celebrate! As you know, I’m a Mac fan… No, a Mac Evangelist! I love all things Mac… (and you would to if you’d only try it). There’s no excuse now for everyone NOT owning a Mac… Macs play ALL PC software now! …and NO viruses, NO crashes, EXTREME ease of use…. etc, etc, etc,…
Now, before I went sideways, I was here to praise PokerStars for finally releasing a Mac version of their downloadable software.
