In a 10-20 Hold’em game at the MGM Hotel, a drunk was begining to get out of hand.
“Well that was one pussy-pink river card from you dealer!” he bellowed after missing a flush.
The dealer beheld the drunk gravely; “Sir, there is a young lady at the table. If you don’t control your language, you will have to leave.”
On the next hand, the drunk doesn’t improve his set on the flop and looses to a straight. “Jesus Christ! Why don’t you just light my fucking wallet on fire pinhead!”
The dealer was absolutely at his limit; “Sir, I’m telling you for the last time; there is a young lady at the table! Control your language or you will be escorted out of here!”
On the following hand, every player in the game wades into the pot. There are raises and caps on every card. In the end, the drunk sucks out an inside straight and wins the 10-20 pot of the month. The drunk looks out over his pile of chips at the dealer and asks, “Do you boys pool your tips togeather or do you keep them for yourselves?”
The dealer replies “All dealers here keep their own tips.”
The drunk tosses two green chips at the dealer and says with a grin; “Well have a Goddamn toke on me, motherfucker.”
The dealer picks up the $50, turns to the young woman and says, “Miss, I’m afraid you’ll have to leave the table.”

Due largely to the diligent work of poker players across America, we can now celebrate the best vote Internet poker has had in Congress. The Payment Systems Protection Act, H.R. 6870, recently passed out of Committee by a healthy, bipartisan vote of 30-19. While there is still much work ahead of us, this was an important step and it shows we are making progress.

Your Representative was one of the 30 members of Congress who voted for this bill. It would be great if you would take thirty seconds to call your Representative simply thanking them for their YES vote. For some of these members, this vote took a lot of risk to break from higher ranking party members who support the failed policies of UIGEA. They need to hear from you that their vote did not go unnoticed and that you support their courageous stand for your freedoms.

Please call Representative Ron Klein (FL-22nd) at (954)-522-4579 When you call, simply tell the staffer:

* You’re a constituent, a poker player and a voter

* Thank you for Voting in Favor of HR 6870

* Thank you for standing up for my rights as a poker player and as a US citizen

Saying thank you only takes seconds, but it means a great deal for lawmakers to hear from you and will encourage them to continue to support your Internet poker freedoms.

Thank you for your continued support,

OpenPokerUSA Team,

Good Luck Everyone!!
