I can't see them actually enforcing this, but jeezus does that law suck.

Yeah, it bums me out. There is really no way for them to enforce it or catch me but I don't really want to violate the law. The local card rooms that are close are really small and I doubt they will have good action. The good casinos are 1 hr away.

I bet the action will improve in these local card rooms! Go along, make friends, play poker in company, as it was meant to be played! Why, this "live poker" thing might just catch on!

Diamond Lil's can be VERY good some days.
The Muckleshoot is reasonably good.

How long before all online gambling/poker is banned in the United States?

IMO, it's only a matter of time, not if.

So whats your plan Fnord? Are you going to ignore the online ban?
Renton huh? I am down in south Snohomish Co. so the Indian casinos (Muckleteo) are an hr away though I know they would be good action.
Man, I suck live, I bet I have a million tells…having very little experience at it.

No doubt. In fact, I bet that is the reason for this ban. Because we have legal gambling in local card rooms plus the Indian casinos, they want to keep the money in the state rather than let it go out of state/country.
