Pardon the unprofessional nanny-nanny boo-boo to Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear, but I am currently in your airspace — and therefore your jurisdiction — playing a sit-n-go on PokerStars. (UPDATE: Or at least I was; never mind, out in 8th.)
Anyhow, part of the point of this post is a just-because-I-can: First time I have ever played on an airplane — like while we\’re actually flying in the air! — and I think that\’s pretty darn neato. (And am thankful that AirTran, so far, has not blocked PokerStars, Full Tilt, Pokerati, Wicked Chops, or … actually, I\’m kinda afraid to check anything by the Bang Brothers.)
See what I\’m getting at here? Me neither … but I swear it\’s relevant, because technically I\’m in Kentucky right now, theoretically I could be in Washington State, and no matter what the state of the UIGEA, I\’m pretty sure there is not proper justification for shooting this plane down.
Anyhow, crap, I gotta finish up this post because I\’m running out of power … wi-fi on this Boeing 717 yes, power outlets no … but technology, internet, jurisdictions, mid-air financial transactions … this is the stuff our future laws will have to deal with, and obviously simply trying to prohibit online poker play or even just attempting to enforce the sooo-like-2006 UIGEA won\’t cut it.
