The word on the street is that the story will revolve around the cheating scandals at Absolute Poker and most recently at UltimateBet. The centerpiece of the story will stem from two kids that were involved in uncovering the scandal in the first place. Personally I think there is a little bit of “hey mom, look, I am on 60 minutes” going on. Frankly though I am not sure it matters. All over the forums people are gleefully proclaiming “ding dong the witch is dead” because for the most part people feel like Absolute Poker has gone unscathed. And I think they still will. No one is going to suddenly take our side thinking “Oh my god, if only this were regulated those poor 21 year kids could play poker in peace”�. Fact is, almost everyone is against us. This story likely will not change that much.

There is another faction that thinks this will be the worst thing ever. I think they are also wrong. Simply put what more can be thrown at online poker that could make a difference? With all the cheating scandals and all of the problems that exist in an unregulated environment people continue to play. They keep coming and in droves.

If you want to be on television make a final table and act like an ass like everyone else does. That is the most sure fire way to do it. This will just be another story that will be fast forwarded through so the 70 year olds can get to that really funny Andy Rooney bit.
