UIGEA

Unfortunatly dipshit bush is pushing thru this worthless bill. If you are worried about our freedoms then you need to do whatever you can to preserve them!

Thank you TheEngineer for the following test:

The Bush administration has chosen to push through its incomplete Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) regulations via "lame duck" midnight rulemaking. Fortunately, no one is giving up. We have many avenues for success, and you can all be assured this is being fought at many levels. So, what can we poker players do?Here are the four things we can all do right now:1.) Write to President-elect Barack ObamaBarack Obama also has a new comment site, at http://www.change.gov/. I hope every single one of will post polite, professionally worded comments on this issue to him as well. Some points to consider sharing:
The Bush administration's last minute, incomplete UIGEA regulations are reckless in that they place unreasonable requirements on our nation’s imperiled financial services industry. Bush was reckless in forcing them on the country in his 11th hour. You should introduce legislation to overturn them.
These UIGEA regulations set a dangerous precedent for broader censorship of the Internet by the federal government.
The Washington Post, at http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/11/11/AR2008111102935.html , reported that William Wichterman, a recent lobbyist for the National Football League who now works at the White House, played a controversial role in the Bush administration's last-minute effort to implement the UIGEA regulations. His lobbying firm made $2.8 million for these efforts.
Banks should not be forced by the federal government to act as law enforcement entities.
Poker is a game of skill where players compete against each other. There is no “house” profiting from losing players like in casino games of chance.
You should support licensing and regulation of online poker. Congressman Robert Wexler, House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank, Senator Robert Menendez, and others have sponsored bills that do just that. These bills provide protections for participants with excessive gaming habits. Bush's UIGEA regulations offer these people nothing. 2.) Write to the GOPThe GOP has a new comment site, at http://www.republicanforareason.com/. I hope every single one of will post polite, professionally worded comments on this issue. Some points to consider sharing:
Federal Internet censorship is not a limited government position, nor is the idea that Americans need the government to protect them from themselves.
Banks should not be forced by the federal government to act as law enforcement entities.
UIGEA is reckless in that it places unreasonable requirements on our nation’s imperiled financial services industry.
Poker is a game of skill where players compete against each other. There is no “house” profiting from losing players as in casino games of chance.
The GOP should support licensing and regulation of online poker. Bills currently in Congress provide protections for participants with excessive gaming habits. UIGEA offers these people nothing.
The GOP has had an anti-online poker plank in its last three platforms (2000, 2004, and 2008). As a result, rightly or wrongly most Americans associate the party with UIGEA. This position likely costs the party far more votes than it gains. The GOP can no longer afford to give away votes 3.) Write to CongressGo to the PPA autoletter site, at http://capwiz.com/pokerplayersalliance/home/. In only 60 seconds, you can tell your congressman and both of your senators exactly what you think of UIGEA.4.) Forward this to your friendsThis isn’t just about poker. It’s about Internet freedom and freedom in general. Every American should care.

Time For A Break.

Ive liked the way ive played lately but it is time for a break. Currently the 3outers and the dumb fuck eurotrash that just flat out refuse to lay down KJ etc., have just been too much for me. It just simply fucking amazes me. Then you look at sharkscope.com and these dumb fucks have lost 2k-3k on goddamn $10 tourneys!!! I swear some people are just flat out retarded. How the fuck hard is it to hit the fold button, wouldnt you get sick and tired of depositing money? Course anymore people have way more money than brains.

Sure wish they payed well for 12th

12th in the Midnight Madness. Sure not liking it. 3k just right there, but no it wasnt for me today. 9th and 12th seems all well and good but I really would like a win! On a positive side I keep getting deep in almost any mtt I play, alot of it running good, but also alot of it playing well too. Played most of the Madness with the great bef99hwk and it was impressive to see how the big dawgs do it. I learned alot and hopefully can use it to my advantage so I can start taking these damn things down!

Sweet!

Obama wins! Sure hope he can fix this mess, too bad I dont think any politician is going to make much difference. But hopefully online poker will survive!

Here is the Video!

Finally have the vid, I tried to add it but it was in a small window that you couldnt expand. You can download the video here.

Another long day of poker.

Sorry no video today, apperently it takes a long time to render a video. Some more 3 outers left and right but all in all a good day. Hopefully I can get this video rendered by morning so I can post it!

Such a brutal day!

Got to the final table of the Midnight Madness on Full Tilt but alas, I was card dead and AQ >TT. Not much I could do when I had an M of 4. Other than that the day was just one 3outer after another, you know how that goes. But as per usual I continue to get mine and that is all that counts at the end of the day. I am looking forward to getting a video added tomorrow so for the 2 people that are reading this hopefully they will be good for you! I am gonna start with a series covering my 3rd and 16th place in the daily double A & B. Then I will contrast what I learned with that (had Jennifear go over those with me) and my 9th in the Midnight Madness. Hopefully I will be able to post some wins, but for now this will suffice.
