I don't want to link directly to this gov press release nor give the search engines any reason to index this thread so keep that in mind when replying please. Shame that poker players have made it so far in the last weeks to have this happen! I personally think it is a shake up for the gov to get their cut before Vegas makes poker legal.

WOW, the govt. sure knows how to send mixed signals (not that I am surprised!)

I guess the b#ankers arnt running any poker rooms, otherwise the gov would have looked the other way
