		<description>I think this is an interesting idea but it won't work. poker players are motivated by greed. Most players are not in it for the social aspect of sitting around in a dark room in their underwear.

The dates are bad as well because the coincide with the first three events of FTOPS. If there is going to be a boycott and there's an overlay in those tournaments, players will play. Not to mention all the other guarantees that will look so juicy all of a sudden.

What might be a better idea is to get everyone to register for tournaments and then pull out at the last minute. And do this in all the big guarantees. This way the sites won't know what hit them. Now they will have to actually pay out those big overlays. It's hard to organize this way but this could be one hell of a strategy...

BTW: Your comment function does not work on Internet Explorer. The "Please add x and y" does not show up and when you try to submit it asks you to answer the question and erases your comment.</description>

		<description>Not your biggest fan, Rini, but at least until now I thought you had a standard issue set of brain cells.

Anyone who asks questions like "Why are they not running ads blasting the hypocrisy of this law on every television station in the US?" is pathetically out of touch with the relevant laws and regulations, not to mention lacking even a rudimentary understanding of the political ramifications that such actions by foreign companies would cause us all to suffer.

Plonk goes your blog into the bin, Bill.  Just don't have time to read the rantings of the disconnected anymore (humorous as the may sometimes be) - some of us are too busy trying to accomplish a sea change.</description>
