Poker is a card game, the most popular of a class of games called vying games, in which players with fully or partially concealed cards make wagers into a central pot, which is awarded to the player or players with the best combination of cards or to the player who makes an uncalled bet. Poker can also refer to video poker, a single-player game seen in casinos much like a slot machine, or to other games that use poker hand rankings.... more

The poker room and poker network rankings are based our observations of the real money hands and tournaments played in recent weeks. A #1 indicates the most active room/network. A room without a #1, #2 or #3 means PokerPulse does not estimate activity for that room/network.
The letters in the ranking have the following meaning:
PP in the rank column indicates the room/network is operated by and owned by a publicly traded company.
P in the rank column indicates the room/network is either operated by or owned by a publicly traded company.
Pp in the rank column indicates the room/network operator is a publicly traded company and some of the rooms on the network are owned by publicly traded companies.
X indicates that neither the room/network owner or operator is a publicly traded company.
_ indicates a to be determined status for public / private ownership.

According to friends and even his own mother, this is a guy
"who will scratch, claw, kick, scream, move the goalposts -
pretty much do anything to effect a win."
He's a sore winner, a horrible loser and his political tactics are well
entrenched in the annals of American history by several of his high-flying predecessors.

American Presidents - one in particular.

Kahnawake Gaming Op Ed Piece.
I was pleased to see Joseph Quesnel's op ed piece,
Why gaming is big on reserves (March 8/08), although it wasn't especially
helpful to maverick Mohawk entrepreneurs hosting Internet gambling sites in
Kahnawake, Quebec. Although Mr. Quesnel prefaced his remarks with the phrase,
"Without getting into the sovereignty issue," there just is no avoiding it.
The U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) is currently in negotiations with eight countries,
including the 27-member European Communities (EC), Japan and - wait for it -
Canada over its right to continue asserting sovereignty by prohibiting remote gambling.
In view of these negotiations, it would not be unreasonable for the U.S. to poke Canada in
the chest about Mohawk servers which, after all, breach Canadian gambling laws as much as America's.
...
In the wake of residential school settlements that have literally taken out organized religion in
Canada, there may be understandably little sympathy for First Nations claiming a special and
exclusive right to such a lucrative business. But if they do the homework to show their business
is both eco-friendly and an important traditional feature of a unique culture, Mohawks may be able
to persuade the feds to open up Internet gambling in Canada once and for all.
