Amaya Gaming is in the process of buying PokerStars for $4.9 Billion.
What exactly does this mean? Well, PokerStars has been a bit of fly in the ointment stalling legislation in California that could legalize online poker in the Golden State. Some California tribes have insisted on Bad Actor language in legislation which would essentially lock out PokerStars from the California Online Poker Market. At the same time Morongo, Card Parlors, and Horse Tracks have partnered with PokerStars to develop online poker in the event it becomes legal in California.
With PokerStars being bought by another company perhaps now they would be able to participate in the California Market. If this is the case then some of the last road blocks preventing online poker from being legal in California could be removed. If the Bad Actor clause is no longer an issue then presumably Morongo, Card Parlors, Horse Tracks, and the rest of the tribes in California could agree on some form of the current proposed legislation.

Regarding Comments
I received an email last night informing me this blog came up at last night's General Council meeting at Pala. Chairman Robert Smith, Chairman of the Pala Band of Mission Indians, Pala Band of Luiseno Indians, Pala Band of Luiseno Mission Indians of the Pala Reservation, is monitoring your comments. He is going to track your IP address and "take action" against any tribal member posting comments he does not like.
I just thought all of you should be aware. I have also deleted all the prior comments.
Pala is governed through fear and this is just another example of that. To be fair, it's not just Pala. Really, it's nearly every country in the world. Pick one: Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Afghanistan, and even the United States are governed through fear. I don't want to single out Pala as the only place in the world that uses fear and intimidation to govern. It's a tactic as old as humanity itself.
The United States as a whole is largely governed through fear. The biggest fear I had as a kid was the fear of Nuclear Annihilation. During the Bush Administration the fear of terrorism was used to justify all sorts of erosion to our freedoms. If one was critical of the war in Iraq you were branded as a traitor. The Obama Administration is using the fear of the NSA and monitoring of everyone's activities to govern. Everyone knows by now we are all being watched, tracked, recorded, our emails read, and internet searches logged.
Also I have to say that all the anonymous comments were as usual getting out of hand. If you are going to post something mean and nasty at least have the courage to use your own name. Talking tough anonymously isn't really tough. It's chickenshit. If you are not willing to say something to someone's face perhaps you shouldn't say it at all.
I thought about closing the comments as I have done in the past but I will leave them on for now. I thought about requiring registration or at least making it required to provide a name and email address in order to comment but for now I will just leave things as they are.
So feel free to comment...or not. You are free...I think. Or are you?
Going forward each post will come with the following warning. I don't want anyone claiming they were not aware Chairman Robert Smith was going to take action against them for commenting on this blog if he happens to not like the comment.
