The poker game is a contest. All websites have contests and we've had many before. The bulk of the members love it. If you don't like the game don't play it.

As far as the popup. That was a mistake. That code should have been an inline page. Also I said no popup advertisements would be on RCU and that is a notice to members about a free contest. There is a distinct difference between a notice and an advertisement. NEvertheless the pop behaviour will be removed.
