I haven't read any of this thread, but from a legal stand point it would be ideal to see if there are any cases where another court has defined some game of skill whether it be horse betting or whatever. If a court would ever hear a case to some how make poker a game of skill that will be one of the first things it does is to look at previous cases that have relevance. I also haven't looked at the UIGEA either to see if it even mentions anything about games of skill or what the exceptions are. But looking at previous cases and the process they used to arrive at their conclusion and then applying that to poker would be the best way to show poker is a game of skill.
