It was all a dream
Regarding legal US online poker - woke up thinking about it out this morning, had a dream about it actually - it will be legalized.
In June candidates really start hotting up in running for office in the USA.
They are going to use this "I Will Regulate Online Poker" line as a way to get votes.. there is 10million online players in the USA and thats a huge swing market as I doubt that the majority of those players actually ever vote or have given a fuck about politics before, however now this issue has affected them, they will vote for anyone who runs with "I will help legalize and regulate online poker" speel.. im sure of it.
Remember not so long ago we all talking about an 18 month blackout from US players, well this is it. The DOJ had those papers filed on March 10th, yet they were only released last friday over 5 weeks later. In politics 'Timing is Everything', in only 5 more weeks the electioneering begins and you can bet that a lot of candidates will be running with this as an issue. Also remember that the president authorized those DOJ incitements, and when newly elected rolls int, simply say all funds are returned, its now legal, and look like the good guy.
The problem is there are so many bible thumpers in america that it becomes a difficult issue for conservative politicians to touch. Voters need to make a ton of noise, but more than that big money has to get behind the canidates. That's what I think will happen. There is hundreds of millions if not billions to be made w/ US poker rooms. Someone will want that money : Those w/ money almost always get what they want.
Also remember that 888 and ceasars signed a deal in march, which still stands, and its likely they will likely be the ones to enter the US market first imo, with a lot of backing for whoever becomes the president.
