Just an fyi on the legislative front: Barney Frank is unveiling internet gambling legislation -- announced today. The bill would provide the Dept. of Treasury authority to regulate internet gambling operators. Here is a copy of the press release and a link to the bill. I suggest if you care about this you contact your Congressman and ask him or her to support this bill. http://www.house.gov/apps/list/press/financialsvcs_dem/21frank_008_xml.pdf For Immediate Release: Contact : May 6, 2009 Frank Unveils

Well, since you're going to NYC, NOT Chicago, I won't be a total Dbag and tell you about Chicago pizza... Best pizza in NY may be at Luzzo's ,, 1st ave, East Village -- but it's really Italian pizza not NY Pizza. For NY Style go to Giorgio's , Upper East side, 2nd Ave around 70th St. Even a Chicagoan could choke it down in secret. Go to the Village, do something in Central Park, go to Scores, sports bars are the same everywhere so don't bother and... don't waste any time

It's worth the trip. Nice hotel, great poker room for tourney play, decent structure. I'll be out next week! Haven't decided whether I'll play any satty's or not. In July, Satty's seemed to much a turbo donkout.

Played in these during the WSOP, great tournaments so I'm going in Feb. Excellent room, top class dealers, very well run. My two cents on the Satty's -- The structures were fast enough that I passed and just bought in and will probably do so again in Feb. Good Luck.

For me this is an easy fold - your almost certainly behind and you're NegEV, but WTFDIK? In the alternate reality that is Starz I get my chips in the pot with superior odds 80% of the time and get cracked by some donk-ass-biatch 70% of those times. Maybe all these -EV shovers got Starz Donkaments figured out. Hope you suck out and chip-up

Keep it up Engineer. Your efforts are appreciated. I think we met at the Capitol Hill event -- a few of us had dinner with the poker pros -- if you're the guy I think you are, I was at the table next to yours eating dinner with Annie and Howard. pretty funny to think of you being a right winger at the DNC Club -- you did look a little uncomfortable! You are doing good work. I also exert what influence I can. Hopefully other poker players will speak up en masse. Message to online players: If your

DC is a tough town, but eff Mr_Big Queso Fajz is #1 among those old enough to buy a beer.

Question regarding MTT's on Stars vs UB and FTP. I run very well on UB, like the tournament structure there, do ok on FTP, but I never ever run well on Stars. I don't believe the conspiracy theorists and all their "rigged" talk, but I'm looking for a way to improve my results on Pokerstars. It is typical for me to lose with best hand, except for KK. The last three straight MTT's I played on starz I got bounced with KK vs AA. Two of them were big blind vs. small blind. Just how often are KK and AA

I went through something similar this winter. I took 3 weeks off from poker. When I came back, I played fewer tables at once and stuck to my favorite events. The poker was more fun and the results much better.

Not a big fan of the check process. In the 7 weeks you've been waiting you could have withdrawn $29,700 from epassporte.com ($600 day). I've been using it since NETELLER went dead to us and everything has been easy. BTW, epassporte will increase your daily limit if you meet certain criteria. GL
