Be careful what you wish for I suppose.  NJ had been on the fast track toward legalized intrastate online poker.  That was, until, the federal government got a bill out of committee and the NJ Governor announced the state’s intention to overhaul Atlantic City.  All this has caused the push to legalize online poker in NJ to stall somewhat.   What was once though to be a given to happen by the end of the year is no longer being given such short odds.  Which is not to say that the measure is dead in the water.  To the contrary, unlike in California and other states, both houses of the NJ legislature support legalization.  So it looks like the legislation ultimately will pass, but when is now more uncertain.  Then again, if the federal government repeals the UIGEA (either directly or in effect), all this will be for naught and poker will reign supreme in all states.
