Hey guys,
I've just been grinding tons of CG's @Bovada and livin life, relaxing w/ family and friends @ home atm. Just load 4 and crush all day, its kinda fun, feel so much happier everyday, greeds not runnin this train anymore, just desire to win.
I have quit tournaments until at least June, then maybe re-evaluate *lost passion for them and pretty much just hate them now*
(although i do use points random MTT's, makes for good rakeback),
I'm feeling healthier than I have in a very long time, thank god, I wasn't taking care of myself for a while there...
Was nice to enjoy the sun in like our first nice spring day today in PA. Been back from Canada for like a month, not sure if I'm going to be going to LV or NJ but most likely LV, unless NJ gets the international bill going asap.
In the General discussion forum I saw a lot of outrage at what news we have been given about the state of online poker in the US etc, I wrote this there, but figured blogging would just be better since its been a while.
The US Lottery system that is making $800 billion a year (i could be way off) has joined our coalition. This is HUGE. They want to keep this wagering going 110%, they have our backs, and they make Sheldons bankroll look like peanuts. This was the best thing to happen to USA poker last week, along with New Jersey pushing through a bill for International Poker, to play with the rest of the world, the first in the states to do it, and it passed through the first senate vote.
Online Gaming isn't going anywhere, legal or offshore, its going to be played.
California is also doing everything possible to get the Native tribes to agree to ALLOW PokerstarS in California, because "that is what the players want" - we'd go there NP.
was all over pokernews.com last week.
things are battling back and forth, its like a soap opera, just keeps going on.
a huge plus this week is that New Jersey has pushed through a bill for INTERNATIONAL gaming for a larger playerbase which will move most of us from the USA to Jersey overnight.
This is what you should be looking forward to.
Also, Sheldon Addelson *sp? has kind of made an ass out of himself in the past week or two, he has hurt his case some. I do believe he will have some sort of short term impact here, but nothing sustainable.
The #'s have been coming in (hands/profits for sites) and its in the millions, and continuously growing and the casino's have tied in tens to hundreds of millions of dollars for upstart costs, this is locked in for at least 10 years (there is a 10 year clause somewhere in the Bills) without a complete VETO from the house, things will continue to progress.
The Wire act will stay as is, its been through the courts.
Even if it gets changed back, nothing changes here, and we have plenty of good sites + casino's to play in, with random grind trips out of country, its a blessing, if you view it that way.
but yeah, take it from someone with OCd who reads every article for the last 2 years 11 months and 2 weeks. Things are only going forward, one man with billions has a problem with it, the online gambling lottery of the USA has a problem with Sheldon, they side with us 100%, because if the wire act is repealed, then ppl can't buy tickets online, which would crush there industry etc.
Keep grinding.
Be Water.
GL,
Ryan
