In response to: What are your thoughts about poker being "banned" in the US?

While it's a drag for the US players, really they only banned on certian networks. There are many sites that still accept them and I still get to play against them. I think the will to enforce of the law will wain soon anyhow, look at what the President was doing on national TV a couple of weeks ago? He drew up his March Madness brackets, the year before the FBI was investigating all online gaming involving the March Madness. The US Gov't was threatening to take legal action against Facebook to get client list because of (what they considered) online gambling. How things change in a year. My theory is that Bush lost tons playin online poker and decided to get them back (he was a regular poker player for years). So like any other unpopular law (prohibition) all it's going to take is more networks to allow US players (& a little Lobbying, isn't that how the congress works?) & individual states (like Cal, Alaska & other NW states have done with Marajuana laws) to makes laws that allows the bank transfers with online gaming sites. But that's just my thoughts...
