Allyn Jaffrey Shulman recently interviewed the President of the
American Gaming Association. The three parts have been published at
the CardPlayer Web Site, www.cardplayer.com. It is very interesting
reading and contrary to the belief of many nay-sayers around here,
ON-LINE POKER IS NOT DEAD OR ILLEGAL for US based players.
The article gives a complete history of the bill, the back-room deal
history of how it came to be and "the shady political" (my words, not
in the interview) tactics by which it was passed in the US Congress and
Senate.

Whether or not it is legal is a matter of legal opinion, not fact. The issue
has not been resolved by a court satisfactorily. It is illegal where state
law explicitly prohibits it, and may or may not be illegal for a variety of
other reasons under federal law.
It's reasonable to hold the opinion it is legal, but it is not crazy to believe
it is illegal, either. Until there is a ruling or series of rulings on it, we
don't really know.
Even in the absence of such a ruling, though, the legal uncertainty is
crippling to the business.

Poker is already gone. The group has turned to debating the existence of God,
life on other planets and of course conflicting political views.
I take it you are an American player. If you want to know FT's opinion then you
will have to contact them but as far as i know the will be business as usual and
the 270 day thing was a myth.
