“I once played poker with tarot cards…I got a full house, and 4 people died.”

To explain why he expects the Administration’s policies to cool the U.S. economy soon, Economist Walter W. Heller last week recalled an old poker-room joke that, he said, he had heard from President Johnson. It has to do with a professional dealer who is getting an unexpected show of strength from one of the local yokels. “Reuben,” says the shark, “you better play fair, because I know exactly what I dealt you.”

Welcome to the new (temporary) Bodog. As you may know by now, Bodog.com is experiencing a technical issue impacting our players’ ability to access our website.
This is the result of a legal dispute over the ownership of the Bodog.com domain name. We are fighting this dispute. We are confident that we will win, but until all is settled, I do not want our battle to interrupt your play.
So, I present you with newbodog.com. You won’t notice very many changes: same website, same brand, same product, and same service. Just a new domain name.
We are working to resolve any remaining issues on the temporary site as soon as possible, and fully expect to have our original site back up shortly.
I sincerely apologize if you were affected by our interruption and assure you that I will update you soon.
Regards,
Calvin Ayre
But ShoeMoney explains it this way
Earlier today the Bodog website (bodog.com) went down. Many people thought it was just technical issues. A good friend inside Bodog pinged me and told me that the site was actually yanked out from under Bodog's hands earlier today.
Apparently, some guy in the US who was awarded a patent for something to do with taking bets online filed a lawsuit against Bodog awhile back. Bodog didn't respond because they are not a US company. So a judge awarded a default judgment of 50 million.
Yesterday, the guy with the judgment used it to seize control of Bodog's domain names from Enom. Almost all of their sites are now offline, and now they are going to loose all of their SERPS.
My path to teaching my conception of truth leads to and through teaching poker as skill in seeing and understanding from another's point of view. i teach this as a fundamental skill not just for lawyers but for anyone who is eager to learn how the rhetorical world works and connect it to the physical. i teach the teaching of it as exemplar and research.
There is corruption of law in relation to poker. Our government seeks to kill online poker games as collateral damage to its gambling hypocrisy, passing a midnight bill that never saw committee as part of a terrorism act, prosecuting the founding companies and individuals who made online poker possible, and thumbing its nose at little Antigua and no doubt soon to give the finger to the WTO which has ruled in Antigua's favor against our govt.
This is exemplary of the corruption of law i would like to see our government foreswear. I want to array the intelligent forces of the poker playing poker thinking world against it. The united states government v. the intelligent forces of the poker playing poker thinking world
