Love Those Aces

I was playing 7 Sultans Poker Limit Holdem today and was dealt Aces (Pocket Rockets) three times in less than 15 hands and they held up each time. It was that kind of day at the Prima site. I also got pocket queens that held up. I was able to sit down for less than 30 minutes and cash out a nice little profit.

I only had a short time to play and I wanted to get some raked hands in to go towards my bonus and this was better than I ever could have expected. I know these days are special and don't come that often so I felt really great when I exited the tables.

I'm still not that enamored with my play at Limit Holdem. It is just that the Prima sites are so full of fish that I am able to be a winning player on those sites. I am looking forward to finishing this bonus and then in early December I am going to find a site to continue my Limit Holdem Challenge on. I feel that by playing the higher limits I am becoming a better player. Right now all I am doing is treading water to clear bonuses. Sure, I want to win and, so far, I am a winning Limit player but I am not growing in my game as much as I would like.

On Tuesday the State of Michigan voters passed Ballot Proposal 2, which was to do away with affirmative action programs in Michigan. The vote was 58% to 42% in favor of abolishing affirmative action. The first legal challenge -- and the promise of a second -- cam on Wednesday, one day after voters overwhelmingly approved Proposal 2.

My question is why hasn't anyone challenged UIGEA in the courts?? I know one is a state amendment and the other is a federal law that was passed but you would think that a Poker Site or Online Casino or an individual would still try to get an injunction from a favorable judge to put the law on hold until it could be debated or ruled on or whatever..................

Can any of you Lawyers out there or layman tell me why no challenge at this time?

I think Aruba and some other island nations brought an action in front of the WTO (World Trade Organization), but since its an International Court, the US can pretty much ignore the decision. The US already lost a very similar suit by those countries in the past regarding Internet gambling restrictions made by the US.

Otherwise, you can't bring a law in federal court unless there is an actual controversy, i.e., someone is fined by the US government. You cannot bring a suit merely to repeal the law without there being such a controversy, so maybe it will happen once enforcement starts or the rules are defined (within 270 days). That's the only reason I can think of.
