I am a poker player from the hill country north of here. I cannot wait until I can drive straight on past those "casinos" to play Hold Em and eat a fantastic meal at a real CASINO in Baton Rouge...because that town doesn't have anything to be less than ashamed about in those two boats downtown. I'm sure even you people who despise gambling have seen the meteoric explosion in Poker. Despite the fact that this town is a part of Poker's history from its beginnings in the 1800s on the Mississippi River, WE ONLY HAVE LESS THAN FIVE LEGAL POKER TABLES IN THE PARISH!!!! One of the casinos doesn't even have live poker. That is insane. Some of the best poker players in the WORLD live here. A former Louisiana Governor, one that is not in jail, is among that number. I love all you hoighty toighty super-white people in south baton rouge talking down your noses about "gaming" ... I have seen you in Vegas and the Beau Rivage. Stop acting like you should get to decide what us hoi polloi get to do with our spare time and money. Yes, I can afford it you jerk. Last, but not least, hasn't columbia-sussex proven themselves to be one of the worst corporate partners in br's recent history? I can't believe some of the good people against pinnacle aligned themselves with that crew. Yuck. A6 ran a good program. Sure, I like their outcome...but, either way, it was a good process. Vote for COMPETITION, people...that is always always always a good thing for the public. If you aint learned that yet, you aint ever had Edwin Edwards as your governor.

On Let Pinnacle play
