Annie Duke Leaves UB
I was awakened earlier today by a text message from
@merchdawg stating the following:
"Annie leaving UB. "
I then logged onto twitter and saw the tweet from Annie
herself saying that she was leaving UB and that she had
posted a new blog. Â I logged on and the first line said
it all:
"Itâs bittersweet, but Iâve decided to leave UB. "
Annie Duke leaves UB to "explore and pursue other business
opportunities on a full-time basis.

Online Poker Legalization Nearly a Reality?
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid from Nevada has introduced
the Internet Poker Act of 2010 that would effectively make
online poker legal. Â While many poker players and
companies are waiting with anticipation for the passage of
this bill, I figured I would take a couple of minutes and
review what this new bill would mean for internet poker as
it currently stands. First, only existing casinos, race tracks, and slot machine
makers will be authorized to have a license within the first
two years after the bill being passed. Â Furthermore,
existing online poker rooms are prohibited from transferring
their assets to a licensed entity.
