Sure. But it may be enough to get the otherwise indifferent poker players (ahem) to get off their asses and do something, rather than to just wait and see how things play out.

Contrary to what TP said, as i know he didnt actually mean all of it im HOPING, but ill admit i am lazy so thats bit is fair, joining the PPA isnt the only way to go. while yes you will feel like you have done something, youve just donated $20 that wont do much int he end because no-one in that organisation seems to have actually done anything exciting with their time. No to save this turning into a PPA discussion....


Arresting Doyle Brunson for some kind of laundering/federal crime charge, whatever the fuck they are gonna throw at him they will if they decide to do it, as they know Doyle is going to throw money at them with law suits e.t.c, has to be the best thing that can happen for this problem.

People outside of poker may know his name, people watch ESPN but dont play or follow the game much, but may enjoy watching some skilled professionals compete in the poker environment, it is gripping stuff sometimes. Part time players, the average sunday guy who deposits and loses $50 ebcause he is bored and enjoys it, might pay attention. Media coverage would grow byt hudnerds if not thousands of %. Chat shows would take mroe interest, John Stewart did something but he is so sartrycal that isnt the best outlet for our needs.


If they arrest Brunson, Negreanu, Ferguson, any of the FT Pros, fuck, anyone famous, its a good thing for the "cause".

I am holding the right though is Chris Ferguson gets arrested for all future "In jail for torture of bananas jokes"



Well, i mean for once ive started a good discussion right?

Damn that was one hard to read thread. I didn't understand most of it, but I am wondering about this part. What the hell does this mean?

I seriously can't even figure out what you are talking about. You need to work on your English writing skills or something.

Umm, the cheap lazy bastard thing i was going for.

Like i said, i dont know how much you resent me for that, or if thats all true, or you like making me look small or whatever, i was just trying to make a good post. And yes the typing is too fast, and i should pay more attention.

Now, I know you didn't miss this:

because you posted a reply in it (though not to my original post).
