Win/Win/Win!
Hi SmBoatDrinks ,
To show support for the Poker Players Alliance, PokerStars is hosting a series of $5,000 freerolls. The freerolls will run 3 times a day on Wednesday 11th, Thursday 12th and Friday 13th at 20:05, 21:55, 23:05 ET.
On top of that, if you place first in one of the freerolls, you'll get to play me personally at the end of the series on April 15th along with other freeroll winners in a 10 seat single table tournament. Who knows, you might just win yourself $1,000 and the bragging rights that come with beating a world champion.
The PPA is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the game of poker (online and live), its integrity, as well as the rights of American poker players. I myself am a member, along with thousands of other poker professionals and enthusiasts. In fact, I think it is so important, that I also volunteer as a Director on the Board. Registration is free and instant when you play in one of the $5,000 PPA freerolls. All you have to do is register and play.
For more information on the freerolls and joining the PPA, click here. http://www.pokerstars.com/sites/ppa

Finally, a Politician I Can Respect!
Subject: Senator Alfonse D'Amato Takes Leadership Position with the Poker Players Alliance
Dear PPA Member:
You probably have heard that the Poker Players Alliance (PPA) has enlisted a key ally to support our cause. Yesterday, we announced that former U.S. Senator Alfonse D'Amato is joining the PPA as Chairman of the Board and to help lead our efforts in Washington D.C. The PPA has been your voice for the past 18 months, now we have elevated our organization and will have even more influence with policy makers.
Senator D'Amato will be a tremendous advocate on your behalf. First of all, he is a passionate and skilled poker player who loves to win in both poker and politics. He has a distinguished 18 year record serving in the United States Senate and worked in a bipartisan fashion to achieve results for the people of New York. Now he is taking his enthusiasm, tenacity and political savvy directly to Congress to produce results for the Poker Players Alliance. We are proud that he has joined our team and we are excited about our prospects to get something done for poker in the near term.
I also want to take this moment to personally thank Linda Johnson, the First Lady of Poker, who was the inspiration behind the Poker Players Alliance and served as the PPA's first Chairwoman. Without her guidance the PPA would not be the great organization it is today.
I encourage you to go to the New York Times Web site
(http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/05/technology/05poker.html) for more news about Senator D'Amato joining the Poker Players Alliance and to visit our site at

Senator Alfonse D'Amato Takes Leadership Position with the Poker Players Alliance
Poker Aficionado and former U.S. Senator to Lead Efforts to Protect One of America's Pastimes
Washington D.C.(March 5, 2007) - The Poker Players Alliance (PPA), a grassroots organization of more than 160,000 poker enthusiasts, announced today that former United States Senator Alfonse D'Amato has joined the PPA to serve as Chairman of the Board and help lead efforts in Washington D.C. to protect the game of poker.
"I have had a passion for poker since my childhood, and for politics almost as long. This new position will allow me to fuse these passions and help establish sensible policy that allows Americans to enjoy the great game of poker in the venue of their choosing," said Alfonse D'Amato, the new Chairman of the Poker Players Alliance.
"We are thrilled to have Senator D'Amato take up our cause to promote and protect the game played by millions of Americans. His enthusiasm, tenacity and political astuteness will bolster the influence of the PPA and help earn poker a much deserved exemption from the recent online gaming law," said Michael Bolcerek, president of the PPA. "For the past 18 months Linda Johnson, the First Lady of Poker, skillfully lead our organization as Chairwoman, today the First Senator of Poker will lead the charge."
It is estimated that more than 23 million Americans enjoyed playing poker on the Internet in 2006. Yet, the recent government crackdown on Internet gaming has swept poker into its net of prohibition and have made it increasingly difficult for poker players to enjoy this great form of entertainment on the Internet. The Poker Players Alliance will be working with Congress to provide a skill game exemption for poker and pave the way for eventual regulation and taxation of the industry in the United States.
"Prohibitions don't work, they only create unintended consequences. The American people know this and we are going to make sure Congress knows it too," said Senator D'Amato. "We need common sense regulation of Internet poker. Prohibition will only drive the industry underground and strip away any protections for children and services for problem gamblers."
The Poker Players Alliance was formed in 2005 to protect the right of poker players to enjoy the great American tradition of poker in the venue of their choice, and Linda Johnson was critical in the organization's development. "I would like to personally thank Linda Johnson for her service to the PPA as its first Chairwoman, and in her continued service as a board member as we take the organization to its next level," stated Bolcerek.

January 2007 Results
OK, ever since I started posting my monthly results they have been much less than desired or previously. January wasn't much different, so maybe I'll stop posting $ results monthly & see if I can change the SmBoat karma. I was up live!
This whole Neteller arrests/clampdown/freeze really blows. I've been waiting 2 weeks to get the rest of my fundage out of there. Doesn't seem like many others are having better luck.
Looking forward to Vegas in March!!
