    Kreidler: D'amato Shows Poker Face

    in General Poker Forum

    Posted

    Mark Kreidler is a such an idiot...He says D'amato lies about how many members the PPA has? and that he lies about many people play poker in the United States?"D'Amato is taking a "leadership position" with the Poker Players Alliance, a group you've never heard of that nevertheless is committed to doing God's work by protecting the rights of card players everywhere to lose money online."Lol, yeah thats right, EVERYONE loses money online, thats why for some reason people make a living playing online? kinda weird huh?"D'Amato rallies to the defense of those brave and heroic online gamers, who evidently need protecting in the form of Congressional legal re-interpretation. (Translation: Exempt poker from the no-credit-card law, and we're good to go.)"Lets not forget the only reason those dumb asses passed this law is because we don't have pay taxes on the money we earn, the U.S government can't stand that.. I don't appreciate his sarcasm in this article, D'Amato never called us brave and heroic, we just want to play poker... We don't need protecting, we just want the ability to play on our favorite poker siteI now have a least favorite sports writer, move over Jay Marriotti!
    In the past I've found Kreidler to be an engaging writer and commentator; despite this column I will likely buy his book, "Four Days To Glory." I don't think he is a total idiot. He is a columnist and he writes with a take on a given issue. I think he feels compelled to try to entertain his readers in everything he writes, and in this case he decided to take a position that was not well thought out or at least not throughly researched. He is obviously writing this column an angle (dripping with sarcasm). Having said that, I just think his take is wrong on this one. Hell, even the webpage on ESPN.com where his column appears conducted a poll where 86% of the respondents think online poker should be legal. And if Kreidler feels compelled to entertain by stirring up the crap, then he needs to accept that in doing so, that some crap might get flung back his way. That is why I posted contact info.

    I am having issues today as well.I got disconnected from the server around 8:45 am (PST) but then got resetablished for a few hands before getting disconnected again about an 9:00 AM (PST). I was the chip leader in the tourney with 8 left and top 5 making the cash. I had the table nearly coverred; so hopefully I was able to muck my way to the cash??? I have no way of knowing since I can't reconnect to the FCP site. :club:
