Also, please don't see this as a rebuttal to your original article - if anything I wrote this more as an "extension" of that piece since the PPA involvement has become a lot clearer over the past few weeks. Your article was certainly quite relevant at the time, and actually still is.

I was thinking along the same lines. I respect both of your opinions on this subject and see dg's latest contribution as more a continuation than a rebuttal.
This has been a pet subject of mine.. did poker blow it for sports gamblers? Could poker, due to the sheer numbers and publicity, bring enough attention to the inequities of the UIEGA and "save" offshore, or possibly bring about fairer amendments and possible state regulation?
I agree with Buzz. Poker players are strictly in it for themselves, at this point, and would gladly sell out anyone for self-serving exemptions.
