Yeah that is a bit of a positive at least for now. However, now we can't get travel fees and certain tournaments (such as the Wynn the last year) don't pay the hotel fee but give a cash reward for the hotel. I am hoping that they don't change position and start denying NY residents playing altogether until this is sorted out. I have not heard from NHC/DRF yet.

The worst part about it though is this has nothing to do with gambling or concerns with gambling, or any other government function, it is a straight out and out money grab. If these things are done in the private sector you are subject to a RICO indictment and branded mafioso.

Spyder, that sucks, was not aware that there are other states as dumb as NY. At least we can still try to get the big ones. Hope to see you at one of them!
