The US Govt is out of line here; they want to ban online poker in the US? Okay, but closing entire sites down is affecting people in less oppressive countries all over the world!
@karil217 I agree—the PPA should be doing more for us—more active in Washington—
@YourBrainOnReligion When I’m wrong, I say I’m wrong. I actually learned an important lesson from you that I will apply in the future…

@Arbatious he’s right. freedom in america is a mere illusion. we do live in a police state and its only getting worse. check out infowars.com, one of the few places that tells it how it is. educated yourself or you’ll find yourself with even heavier chains on in the near future.
USA is a speck of it’s own self-the laughing stock of the world,illegal immigrants have more rights then us citizens-that says it all right there

@bigken61 I almost fell out of my chair reading that. You don’t see that often on the internet. You’re a good man.
@lvjustice74 See my reply to YourBrainOnReligion.
@YourBrainOnReligion Then my apologies. You’re right, I’ve never played online poker so I spoke before learning. Sorry. Point taken.
i’m playing real money online poker right now from southern indiana and getting an awesome rakeback deal for doing so….i just went to wwwlockpoker35com and deposited instantly with my debit card and get the rakeback every single day by going through wwwlockpoker35com
Thanks John, since you guys have done nothing, can I have my 100$ donation back? You guys are pieces of shit. Please let us know what you did with our donations, and please leave out “buying hi tech computer and recording software”.Cause we already see how hi tech your operation is. What a joke, sleep well with the pillow case full of our poker money. Scumbag
ugly ass mofo that can do nothing to bring poker back to the USA. smd.
@brownsfan1283 yeah but for how long? If our money is not safe with stars and tilt, I sure wouldnt trust lockpoker!!
you look like a pervert to me… probably hang around outside school gates waiting for little boys to go all in their inside straight
the sites kept 1/3 of the deposits as rake all those coolers were to build monster pots thus making them rich . real poker is played face to face. may all the scumbag thieves be prosecuted . and their bastardization of the greatest game on earth fade from memory

google international centre for prisonstudies and see who is the worldchampion of imprisonment. Fight for your freedom now. Destroy the fukking nazis, communists and big money stock exchange scammers. A free world for free people and wombats.
If you follow the money, you can see the PPA is funded by Stars & Tilt. This will eventually be publicly recognized.
it’s not a morality issue but illegal b/c of money laundering and bank fraud. as much as i want online poker to be legal you have to convince politicians by going after it’s tax benefits and regulations, not whether if it’s right or wrong. i can tell you that poker players are not that majority, in fact we are maybe 5% of the population and the other 95% either doesn’t care. you have to come from a standpoint of political reform and not moral rhetoric.
ATTENTION: Please visit 2+2 thread “The PPA wants to know how this impacts you.” This has a profound impact on your law abiding, tax paying neighbors that have used poker as a legitimate money making endeavor. It is going to require re-tuning playing results for THOUSANDS of opponents, not to mention the scattering of players from reliable sites like FTP or Stars, watering down the higher limit players. THIS MONEY IS USED TO SUPPORT LAW ABIDING YOUNG FAMILIES! PLEASE HELP
USA players can play and get 35% rakeback go to wwwlockpoker35com
