I didn’t know about the gun grabbing. But come on, Poker’s not gambling? That’s ridiculous. Just because there is some skill as well as chance, doesn’t mean it’s not gambling. He is violating the spirit and intent of the law. And he’s probably been paid off to do it.
Danny if your gambling in a poker game you ain’t going to last long and let me add that poker is the only game where you get to look at cards before placeing a bet and have the option to check or fold, unless your in the big or little blind and then it’s only the blind value. All the other games you play against the house and against fixed odds but in poker it’s individual against individual.
Now for the sake of argument lets go ahead and call it gambling, the stock market is the biggest casino in the world then you have state lotteries. Call it what you want but these are gambling operations plain and simple hell you’ve even got bingo. It’s nothing more than a double standard. Let them open up poker parlors, that gives the players a safe comfortable place to enjoy the game they love and tax them like any other business. They’ll provide jobs and revenue to the local economey.
