Is it sad that this is one of the things I'm looking forward to when I transfer colleges? Well, Netteller and possibly a legal cardroom near whereever it is I live.

Anyway, more generally, you'd have to be an idiot to play in such a tournament. I mean, there's legal, there's home-game illegal, and there's blatently stupid illegal. Baltimore has a number of games that I can think of off the top of my head, but they all rake. That's a no go, and thinking about it, it's an easy political win for the Mayor of Baltimore. He gets to enforce laws already on the books, expose 'illegal gaming' and "clean the city" all in one fell swoop.

On a more political note, I think it's really absurd that Ehrlich can't get slots passed. Or at least, I think it's absurd that my county (Prince Geroges County) won't vote for it since we need something to bring business into the county.
