As a pretty big poker player myself, this is actually a pretty important issue to me. I know it's not going to win any elections, so I don't have too much hope of it actually getting passed.

I also play a lot of internet poker (I'm BlueHen86 on PokerStars). I am a little more optimistic than you are about it getting passed.

The funny thing is, I noticed that the equality of play on the interent has improved over the years. I never really thought about it though, but the second article you posted makes sense. The suckers ran out of money and were unable/unwiiling to reload.

I figured that if I had a real lame name people would think I suck at poker.

I'm a microlimit donk on both PS and FT. And, my screen names?? McNeese72, I'm not very creative with screen names. That is my name all over the interwebs and the poker sites.
