You may want to check out the twoplustwo News, Views, and Gossip forum for the thread on Hawaii legalizing online poker. It seems the bill is out of committee and has passed the second reading? Has a chance of suceeding. The bill would allow legal poker and other skill games, both live and online. Blackjack tournaments would easily qualify as skill games under the legislaiton as proposed.
Oooh, :celebrate this would be a great thing! Love Kona...coffee and the the laidback pace. This would just make it that more likely for me to return sooner rather than later.
