An even better bill than Barney Frank's is being introduced Thursday by Robert Wexler(D-FL) which will exempt poker from the UIGEA legislation. This would ensure online poker could still be played everywhere and not leave it up to the states as in Frank's bill, although regulating it is probably the better way to get it passed in Congress than Wexler's outright repeal.

Also, Howard Lederer won't be at the hearing Friday. Kind of bad timing with the WSOP going on.
