III. Game On
I was playing a poker tournament at the Wynn a few weeks ago when I mentioned something about online poker. The old codger in seat two said, “Is that still around? I thought Congress outlawed that.”
In future installments of this series, I’ll discuss how the issue of whether online poker is affected by the new law (a battle that will be fought in the future in the courts). But for now, I need to make a vital point: THE LAW IS NOT SET IN STONE.

This is the first part of an unscheduled, irregular multi-part series about the legal status of online poker. [Because “Mr. D’Amato Goes to Washington” is over 4,000 words, I have broken up Part I into four parts, all of which are being posted the evening of March 8.] The goal is NOT to tell you that the people who oppose the activity we enjoy so much are idiots and assholes. I’ll give you credit for already knowing that.
