Interesting.Looking forward for the video!
Btw I dont think this really matter for the lowstakes players like me.But who knows maybe in the future

Hearing people talk about online poker who don't know shit about it is usually embarrassing and uncomfortable to watch. Hopefully they present poker as something mathematical and at least somewhat legitimate and don't turn this into an anti-gambol crusade, the clip seemed to do a decent job.

Alright I have faith that 60 minutes will do this story well. I hope this doesn't affect cereus traffic too much though, or if it does it should make some of the annoying nits leave hehe.

This is so bad for the internet poker community I mean is it not the poker players worst nightmare?

Nope. The worst nightmare for poker players is sharting in their favourite boxers!

This report was the worse thing that could ever happen to online poker.
Few more reports like this and 5years down the line $5/$10 players have to serve burgers

Well its obvious that these people who had to work their entire lives in the corporate world kissing ass are jealous and hate the fact that us young people are making more money playing a game for a few years than their whole life.
They would probably be somewhat correct in saying that we are basically useless for the world. You could argue that all of our frivolous spending is spent and boosts the economy. I assume this is why USA banned poker?

had to stop watching at 3:07, what a joke...

At least they got Russ Hamilton out in the open, but it was far too short and no mentions of anything postitive or what is done to prevent it in the future

Yes poker players are useless for the world just like athletes, dancers, chessplayers, stockbrokers, artists and lots of other professions, they are right

Never really thought about it that way, although I'd say stockbrokers are quite a bit less useless. It makes me feel better about playing poker though!
