The Poker Players Alliance is putting everything it's got to push through a bill offered up by New Jersey Senator Robert Menendez, which seeks to legalize online poker. But Menendez needs support from fellow Democrats to co-sponsor his bill. He's not exactly winning over many of his colleagues in Congress however. He's managed to get some support from industy friends like Barney Frank (D - MA) and Shelley Berkley (D - NV).

Lady Gaga will be putting on her poker face if she agrees to compete in a card tournament in Ireland.

The singer - whose single Poker Face hit No 1 in the US and the UK last year - has been invited to take part in the Irish Poker Festival next month, according to Online Poker News.

Gaga is getting ready to hit the road with hip-hop star Kanye West but she's thought to be a huge fan of the game, so organisers are hoping she finds time to pop in and try her luck.

Ive been playing online for over 3-4 years.I started playing one site at a time mainly,until I got really into the game.Now I have well over 50 sites I play at.Alot are on the same skins* though.
I have played ring games and tournys.Keeping this short to the point,It seems like I get *tuned in*to one site at a time,and do really well there for a period of time.When Im *tuned in* at lets say,Ultimatebet,it seems I do poorly at other sites like Cake or Carbon,but do very well at Ultimatebet.Then I switch luck and do well at Cake awhile,and play poorer at other sites.Does anyone else go through this cycle?

Came 80th and earned $1.5. I'm rich.😉

She sing a good song , now lets see her play the game ...

The Poker Players Alliance (PPA) has posted a new letter on their website to send to U.S. President Obama urging him to protect the right to play poker in the absence of a federal law against playing online poker (click here, or view below). The letter also demands that the seizure of poker player funds by the Department of Justice (DoJ) stop.

The letter takes 'just 60 seconds' to send, and is available on the PPA website now by clicking here.

The PPA also posted additional text in their forum (shown below the letter to the President on this page) which can be used to send to friends and family so they can send letters as well.

The PPA encourages all players and friends of poker to keep the pressure up by continuing to contact the President and their Congressional representatives.

The contents of the PPA letter to send to Obama are shown immediately below:

Dear President Obama;

As a voter and a poker player, I am writing to ask you to oppose seizures of poker players' funds by the Justice Department. I do not believe any federal law restricts my right to play poker online, and I believe poker players are being unfairly and improperly targeted in these actions.

For many years, the Justice Department has attempted to enforce its very broad interpretation of the Wire Act (18 USC 1084), a bill first passed in 1948 and revised in 1961. The Wire Act was passed to control the transmission of sports bets and sports betting information via telephone, not to stop Americans from playing online poker. This was affirmed in the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court's landmark 2002 ruling affirming that the Wire Act pertains only to sports betting [see re In MasterCard]. Unfortunately, despite this federal court ruling the Justice Department continues to stand by its own interpretation of the Wire Act.

This issue is not lost on the American public. We made our desire for this liberty known through your Citizen's Briefing Book website. Of the thousands of proposals submitted, support for Internet poker rights was the top technology issue. We have also made our desires known via an online petition addressed to you at Poker is Not a Crime - Poker Petition that now has over 375,000 signatures.

This issue is not lost on Capitol Hill, either. In the House, H.R. 2267, the Internet Gambling Regulation, Consumer Protection and Enforcement Act, has been introduced by House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank and already has close to 60 cosponsors. In the Senate, S. 1597, the Internet Poker and Games of Skill Regulation, Consumer Protection, and Enforcement Act, was recently introduced by Sen. Robert Menendez. These bills mandate rigorous, verifiable safeguards against underage participation while providing consumer protections for the millions of Americans who play online poker every day. They also include dedicated funding to establish and implement programs for prevention and treatment of those with excessive gaming habits. These bills also allow American companies to participate in the world's Internet poker market, bringing needed jobs and revenue to our great nation. An unenforceable, unpopular prohibition provides none of these benefits. All prohibition can do is drive players underground or overseas while limiting my personal freedom.

What's most important to me is your support for my rights. Please respond to this letter and let me know you will support my freedoms. I hope that I, along with my over one million fellow Poker Players Alliance members, can count on your support.

Thank you for your consideration.
