I know that this entire UIGEA thing has been bounced around for two years now with no resolution in site. However, I wonder if the Poker Players Alliance is really making progress or are we just seeing a move being made for the sake of getting more constituents? Therein lies the key to this entire deal to me. I want to see some action on both sides to get rid of this foolish law and allow US poker players to play wherever they like.

It will be some time after the election before we can determine if this is real or not in my opinion. At this point it is all rhetoric with very little substance until word comes down from the PPA that a change in the law for US players is pending. In the mean time I suppose we can at least consider it a small victory that we have come this far. Therefor, I believe we must commend the PPA and Former Senator Alfonse D’Amato, current PPA Chairman, for their on-going efforts to get this situation corrected post haste. Kudos to the PPA for keeping it’s eye on the prize.
