Ken - there's a big difference I think that is not covered in this news story that could change your opinion.

ONLINE Poker in the US faces an uphill battle whereas in Ontario it's thriving, mainly because the live poker scene (at least the regulated live poker scene) is non-existent.  There are literally 5 or 6 card rooms in the entire province, and almost all are near the border to the US.  There are no card rooms in the Greater Toronto area - all are at least an hour away and the better ones are much further.   So it shouldn't be a shock that online poker is doing well because it's just simply easier to access.  Whereas in the US - and I definitely could be wrong here - but with the number of new casinos and cardrooms that are accessible, people get better action playing live than online - another reason that there are 4 unique networks that all launched within 6 months where there isn't a State with 4 opeators yet

It actually speaks to live poker thriving in the US more which is a better thing longer term for the industry in my opinion.
