    There definitely would be a lot more casual players if Facebook started real money games!

    How about instead of constantly harping on how "fishy" the games would be under regulation, people focus on how nice it would be just to be able to play poker on the internet in a regulated environment? Recreational players are going to quickly dissipate if they feel they are just a tool for others to make money. There has to be a level of entertainment involved. If we don't keep the game fun, then don't expect much.

    I'm sure Michael Mann thought the same when he created "Luck." There are millions of players who live and breathe this game. Fuck the entertainment aspect for Congress to pass it, WE WANT OUR LIVELIHOOD BACK!

    I wanna buy stock in the DOJ. They'll probably figure out a way to extort $$$$ from these sites as well.
