Negreanu uppmanar Amerikanska pokerproffs att lämna USA
avDaniel Negreanu är nu åter i Canada. Men där var det inte att bara logga in på PokerStars och börja lira. Daniel fick precis som vem som helst fylla i formulär och vänta på ett samtal från securityn på PS innan han kunde lira första handen. Det tog några dagar så när allt äntligen var klart så var Daniel som ett barn på Julafton och kastade sig in i ett $25-$50 PLO 6 max deep med ante spel. 5 händer senare hade han förlorat hela sin första buy in. Men det sved inte ett dugg då Daniel bara var så lycklig över att äntligen få spela igen. Men han är inte så glad på pokerlagarna i USA…

”While talking about being online again, Negreanu offered some words of advice to American online poker pros as to continuing their careers. Offering a little history lesson, Daniel began, “During the Cold War, the “Big, Bad, Communist, U.S.S.R.” was seen as an oppressive regime, while the U. S. represented freedom. Who would (have thought) that, to enjoy the freedom of playing poker online, you’d have to move away from Los Angeles and head to Moscow. That’s just bizarre.” (Writer’s note: Russia’s current gaming laws aren’t that lenient; the country closed all casinos a few years ago except for four “special” gaming zones where poker and casino activities are legal.)
“For those of you who can, I really suggest moving out of the United States to a country that will allow you the freedom to play poker in your underwear,” Daniel continued.
“Canada is a great option, but you could go pretty much anywhere in the world that suits your fancy. It’s time to think about moving to a country that will allow you to do so. If things ever change in the U.S. you can always move back, but at this point, just like being relocated in a “normal” job, you’ve been relocated to any “office” you want outside of the United States.””
