Togel Poker Celebrities Join Forces
Almost two years after U.S. Congress passed the ban on Internet gambling, the Poker Players Alliance has over 1 million members. The PR man for the PPA, John Pappas, left his day job to tirelessly represent those members. John has learned quickly about the nexus of politics and influence. He has also learned well how to effectively get the message of the PPA across.
This week saw online poker players transforming Coors Field,
the home of Colorado’s major league baseball team, into a poker palace. This
being on the same night as the Democratic National Convention, with the
clubroom over-looking the ball park.
It may
seem strange that invitations were sent to the very people who anger them so
much, the law makers who banned their gambling back in 2006. To make sure the
event was an ‘A list’ affair, attendees included top celebrities Ben Affleck, Seth Myers from “Saturday Night Live,”
comedian Sarah Silverman, TV personality Montel Williams and actor Richard
Dreyfuss. Ben Affleck played a few poker hands with the powerful Democratic
chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, Republican Barney Frank. On
the second night of the convention, which was the night of Hillary Clinton’s
speech, the club room, held hundreds of delegates, members of Congress,
celebrities and fans of the game of poker.

Essentially the poker tournament had to be a charity event
because under new ethics rules, lawmakers can attend events hosted by
organisations or corporations only if a charitable donation is involved. So
players made a suggested $500 donation, a little less if they didn’t play, and
the money went to Paralysed Veterans of America. Pappas expects to raise
$100,000 for the group from the events in Denver and St. Paul, Minnesota. The
PPA will host a similar event at the Republican National Convention next week.
WPA wants rule book universally approved
Another man so passionate about the game of poker that he
spends a good portion of his retirement focusing his energies on trying to
legitimise the game is Jesse Jones.
Jesse founded the World Poker Association, which is a non profit
organisation geared at protecting the rights of poker professionals and semi
professionals who go to work at major poker events.
Jesse believes that big tournament circuits like the WSOP, and
he WPT should universally enforce the WPA-approved tournament rulebook. This
would establish a gold standard in player behaviour, as well as ensuring that
all major events attended by poker tournament pros are run the same way.
Jesse was quoted as saying “I believe it’s the number one
item, by far. Can you imagine going to an NFL football game, and they play four
quarters a game, and then you go next week and they play five quarters? That’s
what we have in tournament poker now; standards that are not uniform.”
Vulcan Poker
The recent launch of the new online Togel Hongkong poker
site Vulcan Poker has seen players flocking to the new poker rooms, which is on
the iPoker Networt. I am familiar with
owners of GamingRevenues.com who have been awarded the exclusive contract to
manage all the marketing for Vulcan Poker. These guys were behind the success
of Empire Online, marketing such brands as Empire Poker and Noble Poker as well
as many others, and to say they were successfull is putting it midly. I think
you will be seeing a lot of Vulcan Poker and I have no doubt it will soon be
the top online poker room. Claim your
