Those who have the powers of authorization, monitoring and control in the field of gambling, must oblige owners of the sport betting, poker rooms and casinos, to offer good conditions for all gamblers. I would also like to win a nice sum at Hol'em but this is not possible because something stops me... and i think, i will not succeed in this life.

Well just a simple suggestion there, that was accepted by party poker, making it safer for all the people involved in a tournament. Something like that could have implemented long time ago, if the live tournament organizers cared about. At some point it is not their business anyway...
