James writes a comment asking if there’s truth to Governor Perry blocking the Texas HB-222 (AKA Triple Deuce), which is patiently waiting to be heard.  Unfortunately, for us math geeks, I have heard this is true.  Sadly, this will ruin Texas poker player’s attempt in legally earning WSOP buy-ins. Meaning bankroll building.

The bill is like it’s number…222.  It’s nice to flop a set, but many other sets are better.   I still believe if HB-222 dies, then the government is supporting strippers.  It’s ridiculous that dealing cards is illegal while stripping is legal.

For now, you can use Twitter to send out an RT (Re-Tweet) for support by copy and paste of the following: 

@GovernorPerry at (800) 252-9600 to stop blocking a vote on HB 222, a bill that allows poker in Texas. PLS RT!”

That’s also on my Twitter page. Don’t forget to note the phone number above to make your call. 

Up next! New bill to legalize chess ( a total game of chance) betting.

*No offense to strippers, just using them to point out a paradox.

Texas Hold’em might be legal outside of a Texas household kitchen… one day.  Pokerati Dan spoke to Rep. Menendez  who said the House might get to HB-222 on Monday.  I’m still baffled there are people against this bill.  People blame the Christians, however, many Christians support the bill.   A better target is the bordering States.  They like your money over the State Line.

Maybe they’re against the bill because playing cards are destroying the rain forests.  Assuming they’re aware the rain forest supplies the majority of the earth’s oxygen. Whoa, where am I going?  Oh right, oxymoron led me to oxygen because I was thinking …it’s legal for our daughters to strip for money but deal cards for money.  Cards that are now made from plastic.  Stupid. 

I won’t mention the ol’ I’ll scratch your back if you scratch mine. We all do that.

Gotta run, I’m going to let my son play Lego Star Wars for Wii. IF he cleans up his mess first.
