It looked like a table full of sharks and it scared me away so I sat down and lost a hundred bucks at $3/$6. I guess that is ok with the legislators. Luckily they have blackjack there and luckily I won my hundred bucks back in 10 minutes with the birthday gift Canterbury gave me. See you and all the Pisces people at the March birthday drawing on Saturday. Speaking of no-limit cash games in MN, I watched the guys play Survivor at Canterbury.

First, they have made a stance to attempt to restrict players from playing online when it should be a person's right to spend their hard earned money however they so choose. Second, the US gov't has missed substantial opportunities to embrace online gaming and profit heavily off it by taxing and regulating it. Doesn't make any sense. This topic gets me fired up, I could vent all day. Next you're going to ask me why we can't play no-limit hold em cash games in MN. Ugh.

They can possibly stop payments out of American banks, but that will only spur over the border banking in Mexico. Mexican resorts will advertise that poker players can take care of their twice a year banking needs with a vacation to Cancun or Cozumel. I don't think that internet poker can be stopped. The genie is out of the bottle. How can the politicians even think that they can control internet gambling?
