outrage and Much much more.

I got an email from FT that i want to share

You should be outraged.

You should be outraged that the U.S. government is infringing on your personal rights and telling you how to use your hard-earned money. You should be outraged by the fact that a minority of legislators passed the UIGEA, which impacts your ability to play the great game of poker on the Internet. They did this by slipping the language into a completely unrelated port security bill that went to the floor just minutes before Congress took its break for the mid-term elections. The bill passed without any Congressional debate or opportunity for you to object.

Although many legal scholars would argue that online poker should not be affected by the UIGEA, we believe the law’s lack of clarity can only harm the game unless an express exemption is granted under the UIGEA. You should be outraged that, in a rush to passage, poker did not receive the objective review it deserves, and did not already get this express exemption while lotteries, horse racing, and fantasy sports were all given free passes. We demand that Congress address this grievous oversight now.

The PPA’s primary goal for 2007 is to get an express exemption for online poker from the UIGEA and we want to ensure that the PPA’s message is heard loud and clear by Capitol Hill. By mobilizing 1 million online poker players to join the PPA they will listen, because a million voices can’t be ignored! Sign up for any PPA membership before Monday, March 5th and we’ll enter you in a PPA Freeroll tournament where you can win one of 18 personalized Full Tilt Poker jerseys like the ones our pros wear.

Step up and make a donation to the PPA before Monday, March 5th and you’ll be eligible for a cash bonus of up to $1,000.

If you’re already a PPA member, you can earn your special, one-time only bonus by upgrading to a higher membership level by Monday, March 5th, as shown above. To join now and receive your bonus, please select your option from the following…

Outrage is good, but outrage without action is useless. Stand up for your rights and help protect the great American game of poker by joining the PPA today.

Sincerely,

Full Tilt Poker

Vegas Countdown T-20, Poker Shrinkage,

That's right 20 more days till I get to spend 5 nights in my favorite town.
with my Brother and few of my Best friends .
I will be there March 14th-18th which is March Madness. I also realized that Saint Patrick's day is the 17th so there should be some great dunken stories coming back with me.

My Bankroll is Shrinking up like a little boy's junk in a cold Pool.
So I was donking around in a $5 + .50 tourney on Full Tilt Poker.
And I was Amazed at the Horrible Horrible plays that some people did.
yes I know it was only a $5 tourney but still
calling off your whole stack with KJ on a board with an Ace on it is not the brightest thing to do.
but that crime and much worse were committed at my table last night.

here is one hand that I wished I had played differently But Silly me for giving my 2 opponents any credit for a decent hand.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?846312

Or am being way too tight in that spot?
Just didn't think my AQ was that strong.
and didnt want to race so early.

no hands until KK and you can guess the rest.

See you tonight If I am awake.

Atleast tommorrow is Friday and that means I get to go to ittolm's house for a friendly home game.

And when I first heard about Britney Spears Being Bald I said I already knew she was Bald,
not this.

this girl needs some help. Hopefully there is someone in her life who can get her the help
she needs. But they would need to convince her to stay in rehab longer than Nicole waits to throw up after eating.

20 more days

peace

US Government monitoring your emails

First thing First I would like to congratulate a Fellow Blogger BrdWeb who finished 38th in the Ftops main event.





US Government monitoring your emails:

This week, NOW reports on new evidence suggesting the existence of a secret government program that intercepts millions of private e-mails each day in the name of terrorist surveillance. News about the alleged program came to light when a former AT employee, Mark Klein, blew the whistle on what he believes to be a large-scale installation of secret Internet monitoring equipment deep inside AT San Francisco office. The equipment, he contends, was created at the request of the U.S. government to spy on e-mail traffic across the entire Internet. Though the government and AT refuse to address the issue directly, Klein backs up his charges with internal company documents and personal photos. Criminal Defense Lawyer Nancy Hollander, who represents several Muslim-Americans, feels her confidential e-mails are anything but secure. "I've personally never been afraid of my government until now. And now I feel personally afraid that I could be locked up tomorrow," she told NOW. Who might be eyeing the hundreds of millions of e-mails Americans send out each day, and to what end? Also this week, David Brancaccio talks to John Yoo, the former Bush Administration lawyer who was a key figure in granting the President expansive powers in the wake of September 11th. "There's no doubt that, in wartime, Presidents exercise much broader power than they do in peacetime," Yoo tells NOW. He also says President Bush has "tried to not go too far," in increasing such powers, as compared to previous administrations in wartime.

Doyle's Poker Room To block US players

The Texan promised he'd never let down US players and cave in to the federal government, but alas...
Dear DoylesRoom Player,

This email is intended solely for US-based players at DoylesRoom.com. Please ignore this communication if you are based in any other country.

In view of the passage of the Unlawful Internet Gaming Enforcement Act (“UIGEA”) and the cessation of operations by Neteller and other payment processors, the management of the Doyle Brunson Poker Network (“DBPN”) has reluctantly decided not to permit online real money play by US-based players. We know this will come as a disappointment to you but we have taken the view that the most prudent course of action at this time to ensure the security of player funds is to conduct an orderly withdrawal from the United States market.

Effective immediately, US online poker players will not be permitted to sign up for real money play or deposit funds into existing accounts. Commencing March 1, 2007, all US play on DoylesRoom.com will be blocked and US players will be able to access only the withdrawals page.

You may withdraw your funds at any time or, should you wish to enjoy uninterrupted play, we are pleased to announce that Full Tilt Poker has agreed to accept direct transfer of your account balance. This will give you the opportunity to earn a signup bonus of up to $600 and use your action point balance on their site (terms and conditions apply, see below). This account transfer option will be simple, immediate, and allow you to take advantage of Full Tilt Poker’s wide range of games and tournaments. The transfer feature is available now.

Countdown is on

Celtics Snap Streak, Brdweb Rules. Tim Hardaway is a Bigot.

The streak is finally over December 17, 2006 to 14, February 2007 Eighteen enough



Now that they got that over with they can resume Losing. I still say there is no reason for Paul Pierce and Wally (i am always hurt) Szerbiak to play anytime soon. they are 25 games below .500 which means they SUCK.

SO Pierce should be out indefinetly to make sure that stress reaction doesn't crop back up.



But There they both were last night Beating up on the Awful Bucks (19-34) They had a 15 point lead and Blew it. Man they suck worse than the celtics but atleast they have an excuse their top scorer was out. All good things must come to an end But here is to the celtics starting another streak after the ALL STAR GAME.

Tim Hardaway: 'I hate gay people'

And if that wasn't enough he goes on to state the obvious 'I’m homophobic".

Well Duh, Your also an Asshole who has Just committed Political suicide.

Too bad you got Dis Invited to the NBA ALL STAR GAME. Too bad they don't your Bigoted Persona there. Maybe you could go out and party with the KKK members who are racist's since they DON'T LIKE BLACK PEOPLE or GAYS.



I do not know what surprises me more that A Black man who you would think of all people might understand what it is like

to be Disliked strictly based on 1 specific attribute. or that he is such a close minded Asshole.



I Mean it would have be easy for him to come off Not sounding Like a BIGOT, All he had to do was say 1 of the following.

1. its against my religion
2. its says its an abomination in the bible
3. any of the close minded moral objections you can think of.

But NO all Tim Hardaway the Bigot can come up with is

“First of all, I wouldn’t want him on my team. And second of all, if he was on my team, I would, you know, really distance myself from him because, uh, I don’t think that is right. I don’t think he should be in the locker room while we are in the locker room.”

If he did find out that a teammate was gay, Hardaway said he would ask for the player to be removed from the team.

“Something has to give,” Hardaway said. “If you have 12 other ballplayers in your locker room that’s upset and can’t concentrate and always worried about him in the locker room or on the court or whatever, it’s going to be hard for your teammates to win and accept him as a teammate.”

Wow How close minded can you be?? is this 2007 or 1947???

TH was always know to be a jerk and now he has just proven it to the rest of the world.



MY man BRDWEB had been playing awsome and is having some great results head on over and check out his blog.

He really knows how to play this game unlike myself. I seem to Play Like that Monkey who was going to be at the wsop last year.



I have finally broken down and downloaded World Of Warcraft or WOW. I am guessing it cant be any worse than Playing online poker these days.



peace

Dr Pauly and Legalization

Once Again DrPauly brings us a great post so head on over and read up. Also check out his short stories Truckin

Tao of Poker: Pauly's Poker Blog

Legalized weed, hookers, and Party Poker is a pipe dream. They will never happen because there are entities paying off or blackmailing the career criminals in DC to keep those things illegal. Multi-national drug companies, the duplicitous religious right, and the big swing dicks like Harrah's, Apollo Texas Group, Penn National Gaming, Aztar Corp., Columbia Sussex, MGM Mirage, Carl Ichan, Steve Wynn, Boyd Gaming, Station Casinos, and Sands contribute enough money to politicians on both sides of the fence to make sure their interests are given preference instead of yours and mine.

So stop reading my Blog and Head on over and check out DrPaulys ,Take on why Poker and Pot are never going to be legal Since those Monkey Fuckers in congress decided to stick it up our asses instead of their usual Little Dicked Interns.





Peace
