Default Playing poker is a great American past time

Playing poker is a great American past time, now with all the problems with the three biggest poker sites, what problems will this cause us poker fans? They are already pulling poker shows, and ads from the t.v.

So what will be next all poker go down hill? will be able to watch any big poker games again on t.v or on the internet, or is this the end of all of it?

In my eyes, they should still let us watch the big events that was already scheduled to be shown. E.S.P.N should let us see what was suppose to be on.

A good way to help keep online poker play in the US is to visit the Poker Players Alliance.com (PPA) and let your voice be heard.

Big money talks in the US, and if you're not one of the billionaires, you will most likely not be heard.
We have to group together as a team and take action by visiting the PPA if we want to see poker games on the television again, or more often.

I will so miss seeing the greatest poker players, from PokerStars poker, Full Tilt poker, Absolute poker and Ultimate Bet poker, on tv again.

These online poker sites are what helped make the televised poker games and bring in more players from around the globe to visit casinos like those Las Vegas, and many other casinos in the US.

I say it's a down-right shame.

It is a shame how one voice in this country never gets heard. It takes a bunch of us banning together to be finally heard.

There are enough people out there who want to have the pleasure of seeing what is going on in the poker world on TV, so by getting together and making them hear all of us I think we well get what we want.

I mean we can't be ignored by anyone if we all voice our opinions, ideas and wants as one.

yeah, me too. I agree with what you said. I guess we need to voice out our concerns and all.

Thank you for your concerns on this matter, johnnyglaire.

We're still waiting for something to come about with the US government making online gaming Ok for US players...

And the fact that they have our banking transactions on hold when it comes to using money to bet in other countries (goes against their contract with the WTO).
