• Today may be 1/11/11 but yesterday was 1/10/11 and on that day Intrastate Internet Gambling Bill  passed New Jersey legislation! The bill, now on the desk of Gov. Chris Christie, could become the first of it's kind in the US. It would create ways for casinos like Trumps and Harrahs to operate games online.  for the full story check this link at PokerNewsDaily.com New Jersey Bill
• "Isildur1" was revealed to be none other than who we all thought he was...yep Chuck Norris! nah just kidding (please don't kill us Mr. Norris) it's Viktor Blom (sorry we thought it was Bloom for awhile, that would've been cool)
• Peter Jetten became a Full Tilt Poker Red Pro! and much congrats to him. He started off playing freerolls then went on a tear online and in a year turned it into just over $100k!!!  He announced his status like many other do..via the Tweet. He joins the like of another Red Pro, you might have heard of him.....Micheal "the grinder" Mizrachi
• PokerStars announced it's new "Home Game" feature. This feature allows players to create private clubs and hold their own tourneys with friends or whomever they decided to invite. While this is cool and all, it's not really new. This concept and structure has been around for awhile on sites like UB/Absolute and Full Tilt. The only major difference is that you do not have to maintain a status level to do so on PokerStars like you did on the other sites. Hopefully though now the other sites will do the same and offer it to all level of players
