Lesbians Love QQWIN99
I am not putting in the link to the Lesbians Love QQWIN99 website nor the Naughty Lesbian Poker site.
But I am going to link you to the Teen Lesbian website for a really great article on Texas Hold’em. No! Really! This is a well researched article on among other things:
The strength of the poker boom:
“with the momentum, advertising and so many young people, including many teenagers and children playing across the Internet, it could be that the poker big bang has occurred and its expansion has only really begun..”
And the brave new world of search engine discrimination against poker websites:
“Try advertising a poker-related item through Google’s AdWords or Yahoo’s Overture and you’ll quickly find they have a category known as “Gambling URL” that’ll come into play.”
Some very interesting commentary:
“One thing is for certain. A lot of people are having fun playing in online poker rooms, at traditional casinos and in their own home games – while an army of others are supplying that demand, and making a boatload of money in the process.”
They also reminded me once again about the great site at Poker Pulse that tracks just how many players are using the various poker sites. The best item on this site is the chart showing total players online and total value of ring game pots. Scroll down for that chart.
The whole connection with Teen Lesbians? I have no idea….
Why the article is written by someone named Rick? Also no idea….
Poker is a Great Teacher
We are all familiar with the “life lessons” that poker can teach us. At least we all know about the endless articles that link poker to everything from politics and business to marriage and raising children.
Doesn’t every business deal require a ‘poker face’? Aren’t all political negotiations ‘high stakes’?
I want to recommend an article to you by David Sklansky and Alan Schoonmaker. The title is: “Poker is Good for You”. I have reprinted the article below, I recommend that you take the time to read it, if you haven’t already done so.
Antigua the Giant Killer?
Just when it looked like the United States was going to buy its way out of the World Trade Organiations rulings based on the Unlawful Internet Gaming Enforcement Act, another shoe dropped.
Antigua and Barbuda, which won the original WTO ruling, has announced that the $3.4 billion judgment against the US was only the first step. It seems that:
“The $3.4 billion is just what we’re entitled to by virtue of them not having complied with the decision.”
The decision, of course, being the restraint of trade issue when the US closed its cyber-borders to other countries. But it seems there are more damages to be discussed:
“We still have yet to file a claim that addresses the US withdrawal from the 1995 General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) treaty which allows international access to the US online gaming market.”
Early suggestions are that this second claim will be at least as large as the first, bringing the total claim to over $7 billion. Add that to the European Union $15 billion claim against the US for withdrawing from GATS and it appears that the US may not have enough trade concessions available to support the UIGEA.
It would seem that Goliath may want to rethink the evils of online gaming before the wax in the bald eagle’s wings begins to melt from flying too close to the Caribbean sun. (Mixed metaphors courtesy of my freshman ‘Myths and Fables’ course or was that the ‘Introduction for American Politics’?).
