Stiz-ars Holds Firm!!

After some speculation that PokerStars would be dumping US players soon after Party will abandon ship (probably tomorrow sometime on Friday the 13th), PokerStars turns their boat around back to the United State. Here is the excerpt of some shining light, or shoul I say, shinning star from PokerStars:

Dear PokerStars Player -

As you are probably aware, the United States Congress recently enacted the Safe Port Act which contains provisions relating to Internet gambling.

PokerStars has received extensive expert advice from within and outside the U.S. which concluded that these provisions do not alter the U.S. legal situation with respect to online poker. Furthermore it is important to emphasize that the Act does not in any way prohibit you from playing online poker.

Therefore, our business continues as before - open to players worldwide including the US. You may play on our site as you did prior to the Act.

PokerStars believes that poker is a game of skill enjoyed by millions of players and we remain committed to providing you a safe and fun environment in which to play. We value your loyalty to PokerStars, and look forward to continuing to serve you with the best online poker experience, as we have for the past five years, six billion hands, and 40 million tournaments.

Speaking of Stiz-ars, I mean Stars, all of my fav stars still on Dancing with the Stars are still in. "A.C. Slater" from Saved by the Bell, aka Mario Lopez still remains and is probably the most talented dancing celebrity on the show. The bald Joey Lawrence (basically a "waoh" like he did on Blossom when I saw his new lack of a hairdo) still remains and is no slouch on the dance floor either. And of course, there is the ever-loveable Jerry Springer who got the encore dance last night, however, was in the bottom two but managed to survive. The action is getting more intense as all the Stars received high remarks of no less that a 24 (out of 30). Next week, the couples will be performing two dances in stead of one more and the question on everybody's mind is, "How much more can Jerry Springer take?" :-D
