2006..The year that made on line impossible...Almost

As the year of 2006 comes to a close, I would like to take this time to wish each of you and your family a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. The end of the year seen the passing and signing of a law that makes it illegal for banks and credit card companies to deposit money in to gaming accounts. The leadership that is in Washington decided what was moral for America and tacked the law on to a Safe Port act. I ask you, what choice did the President have? If he doesn't sign it, he isn' protecting Americas ports. If he signs it, he is making it almost impossible for on line play. Some of the on line sites have decided that the law is un-enforceable and will continue to allow play. While others have "mucked" the American players.
The 2006 WSOP main event witnessed a starting field of over 8000 players this year. I'll say it...The best (or even better) player did not win. When the playing style of Jamie Gold is so prominately displayed (airing of the WSOP on ESPN), it encourages bad play as rewarding. Mr. Gold will soon be appearing on High Stakes Poker, televised on Game Show Network. It is my desire to watch Mr. Gold lose what ever stakes he decides to bring to the table. If it wasn't for his pending legal battle, perhaps his buy in would be $12 million, but due to making promises that were not kept, Mr. Gold is entitled to $6 million. Great guy that Mr. Gold..I'm sure his parents are proud.
10 X 10 X 10. Doyle Brunson, Johnny Chan and Phil Hellmuth are currently tied with 10 bracelets each. The question at hand is who will make it to 11 first? Bet on Phil Ivey as getting 11 before the other legends.

See You @ the FELT!!!
