PPA HITS THE MAINSTREAM PRESS
Los Angeles Times interview publicises poker pressure group's activities
Hitting the US headlines this week was an LA Times interview with Michael Bolcerek, the high profile president of the Poker Players' Alliance, a pressure group seeking the recognition of poker as a game of skill and an exemption from the provisions of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act in the USA.
Boasting a membership variously estimated between 360 000 and 400 000 and counting, the PPA has achieved some impressive publicity coups for its views and comments on industry issues.
The LA Times article appeared in the newspaper's business section, hailing the group as a "political player" and describing Bolcerek as a "wild card in the conservative world of chief financial officers." Bolcerek's management background in technology were covered, together with interesting notes on the involvement of top players like Howard Lederer, who is a member of the board, and former Senator Alfonse D'Amato.
