These past couple of years have been tough for all of us that play online poker. Not knowing what may be coming around the corner is kinda scary at times. True, this mostly applies to US poker players but there are others in the world that are experiencing the same kind of paranoia. The poker players alliance is an advocate for online poker and poker in general. I think we all pretty much understand their role and for the most part are glad they are doing what they do. However, I am starting to wonder why they spend so much time on individual cases, such as proving poker is a game of skill repeatedly, instead of getting the information into the hands of people that honestly have no clue and need it.

Sure, Barney Frank is on our side and I am happy about that but I would  like to see the PPA change direction a little and really start hammering the lawmakers a little more than they have in the past. The bottom line is that we need to convince those without the knowledge of this game how it works. Only then will we see some true progress being made.
