Another point also with regards to 'Supply and Demand'... i'm sure you've all heard of this theory in business terms in general. The way this relates to poker in my mind is that it's a question of competition within the poker industry.

You will find that the more competition (more clubs) that are open, the better poker players will be treated as poker clubs will be looking to find things that make their services more attractive than other people which will result in better services for players.

If casinos get their own way, then they'll ensure their competition (places like DTD. Gutshot) are out of business so that they get the lion share of the players and therefore can treat them in whatever ways they so wish as regards to fees, rakes, etc... but if they don't get their own way then they'll have to think up of ways also to treat the common poker player in a way that's better than the other places to attract them there to play poker, and then in turn as often happens their casino games.

Signing the petition is a step forward for poker players for these reasons in my opinion... I'm sure that some of you will have conflicting views and I'm happy to hear them and reply to them,

Regards.

Scott.

You keep putting DTD in the same bracket as gutshot, this can only lead me to believe you know little of the subject matter.

Of course not.

i think that most cardrooms charge a similair rate to casinos for comps (casinos are limited to what they can charge by law

as for cash games its pays your money take your chance as many cardrrooms charge rake instead of rent (casinos cant charge rake by law)


as far as im aware from september casinos can rake cash games.

illegal venues are where poker came from, heart and sole of the live game, much better than casinos.
