I thought it was an interesting article. It was on the front page of the Sunday paper. I didn't understand why it warranted a front page. I thought it strange that it didn't talk about the legal aspects of it, or the efforts of the PPA in trying to get on-line poker legalized.

That is a very interesting article. Are you kicking your on line poker career up to the pro level?!

I kind of have mixed feelings about legalized on-line gambling. The biggest thing is that it's just too easy for kids to play. There is no way to verify their ages and playing off of a parent's stolen credit card has put a lot of families in debt. The same principle applies to adults as well. I understand that people should have the right to decide for themselves how they want to spend their
money but I question the honesty/integrity of some of these games. It's too easy for people to get cheated.

Personally, I would never gamble on-line. It's too risky and I just don't trust that they're honest games. Too much money involved.

I love the online fools who crush the online games but when they come to the casino get destroyed for the most part.

I agree that lately, too many questionable issues have arisen at online poker sites.

I do, however, gamble like a fiend online, but that is sports betting, and betting the ponies, never had a problem with either.
