I've had a couple of buddies lose a few grand on these Texas Hold'em poker websites. They are really awful. It's about time Congress took a stand against these websites that are preying on the most vulnerable members of our society.

Yeah. I've had a couple of buddies lose a few grand buying and selling real estate. They saw the property over the net and even financed the mortgage over the net. These are really awful too. It's about time Congress took a stand against these websites also preying on the most valuable members of our society...

PSYCHE! No one forced your buddies to play over the net. It was a choice. Whether for entertainment, or as an investment in their skill (lack of). Regardless. The government already encroaches and regulates way more than it should.
