Congress wants to Ban Online Poker!

[Shadowlit001]

Online poker was banned. Fuck America, land of the free my ass. And to all those soldiers who claim to fight for freedom what the FUCK are you doing in the middle east when our greatest threat to freedom is a bunch of self important old guys in suits who have the audacity to call themselves public servants.

[villasulloceano]

Here is the answer to Black Friday but only for the most serious of online poker players. youtube (dot) com/watch?v=CFw9w1UAjd0

[Peanoob]

Compulsive gambling - BS. definition of compulsive gamblers is 'stupid people'. If some old lady starts playing poker for the first time ever and plays for stakes that are way over her head, that's her own damn fault for being greedy and stupid. Maybe if people like this weren't so lonely they'd have people to talk to about their gambling problems who could stop them. It's not like the CIA/FBI doesn't already know everything we do online. cooperate with Gambler's Anonymous to nab these rtards.

[P0TAT0SKIN]

fuck congress!

[Ramel34]

These people fucking kill me. I'll give you a perfect example of how dumb this shit is. Your allowed to play poker, right? If you want to give someone a million dollars that's perfectly legal right? But it's illegal to give someone a million dollars for having a better poker hand...WTF!!!

[gopats2338]

The U S gove. are assholes and have no right to tell me i cant play because 20% are idiots and cant controll themselves. Obama and kiss my ass . worst president ever .

[Ramel34]

@gopats2338 It was Bush that got the law passed, but your right.

[FuckThatShitBitch100]

[socref79]

@FuckThatShitBitch100 Online trading isn't rigged against Americans

[FuckThatShitBitch100]

@socref79 yah and either is poker

[socref79]

@FuckThatShitBitch100 Keep thinking those foreign criminals didn't screw Americans......muppet

[bullboy13]

" poker is a game of skill. If it was all luck explain how the same people get the the final table every time. "

[arteta0425]

fukin stupid americans... Cant gamble hard earned cash or sink a beer until ur 21 yet u can fight in a foreign land and be blown to pieces..

FUCK YOU U HYPOCRITCAL CUNTS DUMN FUKKAS

[imluvinyourmum]

i still dont see poker as gambling

is a tennis player gambling when they play at wimbeldon? it can be argued that since they havent wagered any particular set stake that it isnt, but all WSOP players that wear Full Tilt on their caps dont pay a cent for buy ins, in fact they get paid to show up just like tennis players

amature golf players often play for prize money, and also pay for tournament fees. what about strong winds, bad bounces (beats)? remember people enjoy playing poker too

[Countryboy2206]

its not gambling unless a person just sucks or they go in and just throw down crazy bets with no strategy or anything

[thetshirtblog]

@imluvinyourmum I think there is a bit of a difference in that you can't physically play 100 different golf tourneys in one day. :)

I like the example one of the interviewees gave, that of a lady winning 10k before going busto. Some people just can't handle tilt at all, and it's seems like a very real problem for some people.

[imluvinyourmum]

so what?

other people problems shouldnt effect other peoples lives, thats what our legal system is all about. The casino's soley back all this crap, hasbro entertainment gives out millions of dollars in grants to get online gambling shafted by politicians

How can you honestly think anything coming from the primary makers of pokie machines in america is going to be a fair and unbiased point of view on online gambling. Not to mention they create most of the problems with gambling in general

[thetshirtblog]

I agree with you that people should be able to make their decision. I'm not pro-prohibition. For what it's worth, I play online poker fairly regularly. I also understand that there are special interest lobbies that are funding efforts to ban online gambling.

I'm simply pointing out the fact that gambling is dangerous for some people, as the example given clearly illustrates. I'm hoping that this is something we can deal appropriately with through regulation.

[imluvinyourmum]

@thetshirtblog i still dont see how a losing golf player is seen as someone to be pittied like a pokie player. He loses alot of money playing golf, but he likes it and chooses too, so what?

The money people lose at the poker table is going into the pockets of the other players at the table, granted the casino takes a rake but in some cases it is feeding, clothing and housing a family. Isnt that better than going into some evil casino fat cats pocket directly from the pokie machine?

[bandet888]

Why make it illegal online yet still have it at casinos?

[amersurfcrwn]

that oldwoman had bad bank roll management

[JoeLBlack707]

2.

government will be happy having honest skill based business taxed. And rookies will be happy when they get lucky.Now..only if poker rooms are rigged they will not agree with me. And their stuff will write against this proposition. Put Microsoft in charge!

[NoKeyse]

lol Americans

[goldeneffect]

People get addicted to stock market, ban it!

[TheUnmaskedMagician]

that woman that lost $100,000 thats her fault. she should have walked away. people lose that in stocks all the time and yet they don't ban the stock market.

[toanyonebutyou]

econemy to bad 4 online poker

[AquarianAgeManifest]

That guy from the department needs to understand that prohibition is not the answer. It's financial education.

Dumbass.

[airharm]

LOL horse racing gambling is legal but online poker isn't.

SILLY AMERICANS, LOLLLLLL

[eaglemike1515]

[gothlegion]

[alwaysrightneverwrng]

shut up man u geek

[DonRicci]

The main way people do cheat is having multiple laptops together in tournaments. How can that really be stopped though?

[airharm]

don't worry about it, poker is too complicated for you to understand the answer to this question

it's a game of mass skill, that's why people think its gambling, too many retards in the world

[alwaysrightneverwrng]

[str33twarrior22]

[epjet23]

Its sarcasm dipshit!

[Butfunky]

uuugh Croc I win most of the hands I play and I don't work for any site. It just happens to be the worst players tend to be the most superstitious. Or spout that it's all rigged.

[crocfme]

Be careful what U wish for people.ALL online poker is rigged;the players that win most hands are not organic,they are computor generated house players.I lost my car and my wife before I had the good sense to research this.Online poker for fun and small stakes is OK.,But online high stakes is for fools,mugs, and the occasional pro.cardshark(foolish cardsharks).Take my advice;Stay away.

[skarules111]

maybe you just suck at poker, kay?

[bballstud2904]

You have a serious problem and people like you shouldnt be playing poker if you lose control like that.

[09261994]

hahah you have no idea you idiot! IT IS NOT RIGGED your probably some 55-60 year old guy who doesnt look at facts looks at opinon i play for a living and i am 18 and i have made over 30K in 4 months and im not a computer bot either jesus some people are retarded

[SyndicateLdr]

crocfme is right about there being house players at high stakes. I know someone who does it. Now the computer generated part... don't know.

Either way I wouldn't consider it rigged.

[gsimmonsiii]

free country my ass. less goverment punish the few not the masses!!!

[ChallengeDK]

WTF? A bunch of communist sh*t!!! The government should not regulate sh*t!!

[davisville17]

Ban online poker? They just want the casinos to stay rich and prevent the websites from raking it in

[ShredCo]

The guy just said 80% can gamble without problems 20% have some problems gambling and 5% become addicted to gambling. Who the fuck was this guys math teacher? How are we supposed to listen and believe someone like this?

[marly228855]

[ScFilipkowski]

Who cares? why do the rest of us have to suffer because some idiot spent their life savings. If we were truly free we'd be free to do what we want with our lives. Damn fascists.

[justgotbackfromnam]

[steveooo147]

I <3 online poker, Its not gambling really

[miro858585]

i dont know why american people still belive taht they have some Freedom in USA?!? everythink in USA is banned you can ony walk in line and be quiet

[mrleaf81]

The US can't leave anything alone. Why do Americans have to get involved in EVERYTHING. Focus on ending these wars that they start, killing innocent people for oil. Get them out and lets have peace leave people alone. They make it seem like they care about people yet they rob people everyday. America is the biggest joke on the planet and it's getting worse thanks to these politicians and government. They want money out of this thats what these regulations are about.

[Zelin01]

Oh yes, tell the high schoolers not to gamble, just like you tell them not to drink, smoke, have sex, and drive fast. I'm pretty sure gambling poses a bigger threat that all of those combined! (not flaming teenagers I'm 18 myself)

[NathanExplosion77]

WHATEVER DUDE...if you have a gambling problem, it's not a fucking crime, it's YOUR problem not theirs, and even if it becomes their problem because we are getting more homeless people, it STILL IS A FREE FUCKING COUNTRY. wow...fucking stupid, I can't beleive I'm not even a fucking political fucking person and I speak better words then any of these fuckers.

Holy Shit, see the revenue between 03 and 06... even Jor-EL didn't see that one comming!

[pokerboy233]

that old fuck doesnt have a clue about what poker is. thinks that everyone who plays poker loses everything. apparently never met guys like chan, negreanu etc

[Chessboy]

"80 % + 20% +5%" ?? what a moron

[Erfa90]

Maybe he was trying to say 5% of those 20%. These guys are playing with statistics a lot.

[skolzeh]

yeh u can't just ban something cos certain people get addicted it's like being at school when one person messed about and everyone had to stay back...then that person got beat down...punk...

[illwillum]

you gotta be kidding me.. compulsive gambling??? its a habit, for some a bad one, but nevertheless, still just a habit.

this faggot makes it sound like its some kind of disease

[Wesker1982]

So because some people get addicted to gambling and have a problem, no one gets to play? Makes sense to me! "Well golly gee, Bob lost all his money online,since people need babysitters, lets just ban it!"

[m3gatl20n]

Waaaaaaaa kids have been destroyed waaaa just regulate it and STFU
