National Poker Week
Some of you may not know this, but July 19-25 is National Poker Week. The organization Poker Players Alliance has been continuing its ongoing efforts in Washington D.C this week lobbying for legislation promoting legalized gambling in various playing arenas. Howard Lederer, Andy Bloch, Annie Duke and many other famous poker players have also gathered in Washington this week to go head-to-head with members of Congress. Approximately 100 Congressmen agreed to meet this week to discuss pending legislation regarding gambling in the USA. Maybe the attends should offer the members some Copag playing cards as a “peace” offering. As with many situations only time will tell if those who gathered for this weeks events were successful in their efforts, I wish them luck.
