Interesting. America Online is sending nine American internet players (but not Michigan!) to the WSOP through free satellite tournaments. I'm assuming this is okay with John Gomer Kyle.

| So you can do this but you're not supposed to try to get in through a Party Poker satellite? This kind of stuff makes me even more angry about UIGEA. What does AOL poker have in common with the state run lotteries? Both are fukkin scams that almost guarantee you can't win as opposed to the "illegal" gambling on the internet.

I sadly have to concede that he is the better capper. Fuck you, NFL, Michigan State, Jopa, Donavan McMonkey, Ed Hockulee, Peyton Manning and every other player, team and league that caused this sig to go up.
