I

that man.

This looks really, really good. I think he's going about it the right way. I'll be very interested t osee how the PPA reacts, and how this whole thing pans out, of course.

I'm trying not to get my hopes up, but I think there is potential here.

You have now made me LOL not once, not twice, but THRICE today!

This one was the best though, hands down.

You're his type, too.

Kurn · #12 04-28-07, 12:34 AM

Be careful what you wish for.

The DOJ is apparently nowhere near having the regulatory procedures for the UIGEA in place, and the AG, who has more pressing issues on his mind, seems to have little interest in pushing it.

On the other hand, pass Gay Barney's* bill and see how fast the IRS gets their tendrils in there.

* - not that there's anything wrong with it.

I want jetset back, I know im only a select number of people that even know that site. BUT I miss headhunters.

Honestly though, would it really be so bad for the IRS to get involved? I would think (okay, maybe I'm giving them too much credit here) that if they became involved then there should at least be some ~~clear-cut~~ uh... ~~well-defined~~ umm... muddy-as-hell-but-at-least-better-than-nothing rules outlining how to properly pay taxes on poker winnings.

Kurn · #16 04-28-07, 10:34 AM

The only thing good that might happen is it might force the IRS to alter their gambling reporting requirements. It wouldn't be feasible to send players a W2G for each winning session, so it might compel them to scrap the Pub. 529 rule against reporting net winnings.

Reel Deal · #17 04-28-07, 06:33 PM

Ugh... I read the bill on the flight up to NYC this morning, the opt-out clause for the States scares the crap out of me b/c I could see the current administration in Florida opting out (which would be much worse for us than we have it now... as in say good-bye to any internet poker). C'mon Barney, regulation of the internet falls under interstate commerce, use the Commerce Clause and tell the States to pound sand.

Talking Poker · #18 04-28-07, 08:48 PM

This was one of the biggest concerns I had when I looked it over. I was hoping that I was making a big deal in my head about nothing though, so I decided to pretend I didn't notice that part and still be thrilled about the bill.

If you think about it though, I wonder what states like Nevada are going to do? Is it more beneficial for them to not allow it and give more business to the B&M casinos, or is it better for them to allow people to gamble (from Nevada) on sites like MGM.com? I have to think the latter, but then again, people in our government are stupid.

As for Florida... man, I just don't know. Will the states get any cut of their players' action? If so, I have to think they are going to be behind this... but if not, uh oh.
