Poker Week In Review 10/13/2006

Here is another exciting episode of Poker Week in Review. WoooHoooo
Right now you are wondering why there is a picture of a pig in a barrel to the left. It is to remind you that while the government dosen't want you to have the right to transfer funds to online poker sites they are perpetually spending millions upon millions of tax payer's dollars on hundreds of pork barrel projects. Something to keep in mind next time you vote.
On with the news.
Very good news for all online players. Neteller and Pokerstars will not be pulling out of the US market anytime soon.
Here is another great piece from Reuters on Pokerstars reaction. They say that the ban does not include poker because poker is a game of skill. I say right on. I suspect this whole thing will end up in the supreme court on that point alone. Is poker luck or skill?
I have this feeling that a lot of the companies that did cut off their US user base prematurely will be coming back before long only to find no one is interested.
Here is a pretty decent break down of the bill section by section. Most of it is right on the money.
More Shana Hiatt on late nite NBC poker show.
Some robber made off with a few kids bankrolls in Lawrence. The article says they only made off with about $600. Hrm.... Must have been low stakes.
Here are a few choice pro poker player blogs.
Good luck at the tables.
