Just something i read and not sure what to make of this http://www.pokernewsdaily.com/tourn...community-with-conference-announcement-26882/

It sure shows the colors of these jerks who make a living off of poker players. I know this doesnt include all involved but this sure makes the good guys look real bad. Like Daniel Negreanu said is this an April fools joke. So far my first response is REALLY!! This sure makes me reevaluate things and wonder who is sleeping with Sheldon Adelson like a prostitute. Yup i said that!! If something looks like dog chit and smells like dog chit and it comes out of a dogs butt it must be dog chit. (excuse me for that scenario) Ok OK i dont know the total details but i got very disgusted with the whole bunch of them. (friggen idiots):mad: :icon_blac :p

That is a quite harsh, and somewhat unfair indictment of the TDA. Here is what I know

1) The Venetian offered the space and amenities to the TDA for free, and they accepted.

2) The TDA doesn't have a budget and the offer was appealing.

3) Matt Savage was all but clueless about RAWA and Adelson's influence

4) The poker community spoke out, pointed out the problem with holding this event at an LVS property.

5) Alex Dreyfus stepped up and offered to underwrite the conference if they held it somewhere else

6) The TDA is now looking at other options, options that were not available at the time the Venetian offer was accepted.

Matt Savage and Linda Johnson are good people who work hard for the good of the game, and while it is important that the issue be raised, all due respect should be shown

So basically Adelson wants everyone to go to Vegas, is that whats at the heart of this " ban online gambling" business?
