Prawney you make a very good point, I mean I grew up in South Florida where we had Jai Lai and Dog Tracks (Greyhound Racing). Which by the way has been in operation forever!!!! I live on the East Coast just North of West Palm & at the Palm Bch Kennnel Club has poker rooms that are open 7 days a wk., on the weekends 24hrs....In fact they are hosting some big Holdem Tournaments there...I think some WSOP qualifiers.
So I guess my point is maybe Fla. doesn't want to allow Poker to be played online because they might loose some revenue...
