Californians Speak: Gimme (Legal) Online Poker
Seems like Californians are for online poker. If it would help bring more revenue for the cash-starved state. The Field Poll (which I’ve never heard of, I must confess) released one of the first public indications of voter sentiment on an issue that has consumed Capitol negotiations without producing a deal. Fifty-three percent of registered voters [...]

After Black Friday (of Online Poker…April 15), Players Gravitating to Smaller, Less Well-Known Sites to Play
Did the U.S. government actually think that closing down major online casinos would end online gambling? Look, the feds are smart. They had to know that gamblers would just gravitate to lesser known sites. And that’s exactly what is happening, according to players who email me.
