LAME
Just lame.
Did you know that participating in a poker forum can help you improve your own game? Be it by sharing experiences or simply asking for help, participation in a forum helps you focus and keep 'on topic' which will help you improve your game. You can learn from other players feedback and from their experiences. Why the THP poker forums? We offer one of the best managed texas holdem poker forums available, and the community within is far more friendly than those typicaly found on other sites. We've made a 'lurkers edition' of the poker forum available here on Holdem Poker Online, but we encourage all visitors to register and join in on the conversations on TexasHoldem-Poker.com

I find it highly unlikely such a bill will pass.

Why, because it would require the government to pander to a vocal moral minority and be out of touch with the real american?

No, because the issue is far too new to have any real effect on the greater body of Congress. It has lobbyists working against it, not nearly enough working FOR it, and it's exactly bills like this that get a bunch of pork tacked onto them so that they never pass. Happens all the time.
My guess would be you have nothing to worry about, but it never hurts to e-mail the old Representatives and Senators.

Who the heck is lobbying against this?
The gaming lobby is against online poker.

Seems like we have just found at least 1 bit of common ground, JC....
Isn't that strange...
