Show Summary
Land based casinos in New Jersey are strongly against the internet betting bills there. They also came out attacking the spread of gaming across the state. APCW backs Florida as the most likely State to regulate first.
Further discussion of the EU decision to allow individaul States to regulate their gaming. Malta has opposed the regulation as they license several states already. This will lead to a 1 month delay however more significanly French licenses could be issued on time to sports books for the World Cup and the substantial tax that represents to them.

Video: 100 Tabling Double or Nothing (DoN) Sit and Go's (SNG's) on Pokerstars - Ridiculous?
I started today looking for a story about online Bots and poker as someone had been discussing this with me recently and I found this thread on the popular Two Plus Two forums where a guy playing 80 tables of $1 double or nothing sit and go's is accused of being a bot.
At first I thought he must be then I found the video featured here. It shows a guy playing over 100 tables of double or nothing sit and go's on PokerStars.

This to me is something that's just outright ridiculous. For one having tons of players playing too many tables takes away from the enjoyment of others. For two the ridiculous style whilst not 'profitable' in the long run is probably close enough to breakeven that it increases the 'rake trap' effect of playing these for recreational players.
So many recreational players are put off by the extreme slow playing of even the 16 tabling regulars at the $200NL 6-max level that I feel this should be tackled let alone allowing someone to fire up such a ludicrous number of tables.

Self Denial and Poker
So many people play online poker these days and study all the available guides and think they somehow can just 'absorb' talent by magic from a few videos. Or they start to believe that just playing tight preflop gives them an instant right to be a winning player.
They then project this belief onto the tables around them. They see guys playing tight statistics on their Holdem Manager or whatever particular program they use to monitor such things and assume the games are tough - they can't beat them, the tables look tight, so online poker is dead. They start to believe that bad luck is to blame for their losses. They 'run bad' instead of losing because they play bad. Total self denial.
The truth is poker is like a job; it's a lot of hard work. It's not enough to learn some simple preflop rules and concepts and to understand that a continuation bet is profitable. If it were that simple to code a winning solution to poker there would be winning 'bots' all over the tables and millions of us wouldn't find it so fascinating.
There will be more psychology articles to come but for now i'll leave you with a great video I found on the internet about self denial in poker.
