Deuces Cracked

You may have noticed a new advert
on the right for Deuced Cracked.

DC is an online poker training site.

I'm a member and I know it can help you
improve your game. It's helped me get
better at all aspects of poker.

The key things that I think separate DC
from other sites are content quality of videos,
and the fact you can download all videos (DRM-free)
to your computer and they are yours to keep and
watch even if you cancel your subscription.
(ie: you own them) Other sites have their videos
password protected so you cant watch them

once your subscription expires.

It's a great value, $30 for a month (no $100 signup
admin fee B.S. like most other sites) and you
can try it for 7 days free. If its not for you, cancel
(very easy to do, no tricks) and you wont be billed.

I'm not stepping too far out on a limb when I say
you will easily get $30 worth of knowledge in the
first seven days. Not only that, you'll probably
renew for a second month or more because you
cant absorb the massive amounts of info available
in a month ( I know I didnt come close).

DC also has a great discussion forum &
the best cash-game podcast on the net
(both free without subscribing).

If you've thought about getting some poker
training to make you a winning player, click
on one of my links :)

I'll post up a couple sample videos for you

to get an idea what they're like.
(there's 600 or so available on DC)

Inching closer to legalizing/regulating poker in the USA
Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ) introduced S 8309, legislation called the 'Internet Poker and Games of Skill Regulation, Consumer Protection and Enforcement Act' to establish a licensing and regulatory framework for the United States to protect consumers by exercising appropriate control and oversight over online poker and other games of skill such as bridge, mahjong, backgammon, and chess


The big difference between the Internet Gambling bill HR 2267 introduced by Barney Frank and the Internet Poker and Games of Skill bill S8309 introduced by Menendez is Menendez's bill would regulate only Online Poker and other games of skill, whereas Frank's bill would regulate additional forms of online gambling, including online casinos and sports betting.

Menendez's bill proposes that the Secretary of the Treasury oversee the licensing process of skill game operators and prescribe regulations. License applicants must submit a comprehensive financial background, an outline of the company' s structure and that of its affiliates, criminal and credit histories of executives.

Licenses must also explain how their games will be fair, and how they plan to combat underage gambling and compulsive gambling. Under the bill, licenses would be in effect for five years, and can be renewed under the same terms.
