BLACK FRIDAY-A Study in hipocracy.

It's the end of an era. The wild west of possibilites and dreams are over. So now what? As an american online poker player all I can do is shake my head at the hipocracy I've witness this week. I understand that playing online poker in the US has always been considered a "grey area" when it came to it's legality. I also understand that in order to produce payouts to US players some of these sites my have had to resort to "questionable transactions". But in a country whose capital city just past legislation to legalize local online poker my question is why now? Why now when at least 5 different states in this nation are trying to pass simular legislation to that of Washington DC. Remember the UIGEA does NOT make online poker illegal. It makes the transactions between US banks and online gaming sites illegal. The answer to "why now" in my opinon is because they are trying to legalize onine poker. This way they can use the revenue of online poker to help cover the mistakes of our politicians regarding our country's huge deficits. It's coming alright and the last thing they want is competition. So what better way to ensure you're the only game in town? That's right, get rid of the competition! It's "The Sopranos" way of running a country. So when you hear of the different reasons this happened keep this in mind. The hipocracy of this whole situation stinks worse than the act itself. Tune in this week for PokerDonkeys the Podcast! for and in depth (and funny) discussion about the end of an era.
