Default Re: Why does 2+2 call poker gambling?

Its really just all about getting the folks unfamiliar with poker to recognize that its different from the kinds of gambling they are familiar with: lotteries, bingo halls, raffles, slot machines...

The way to start that "discussion" is to stop them and argue with them when they call poker "gambling." We really dont care if we change their words, we really do care that we change their attitudes towards poker. And arguing about whether poker is "gambling" or not, as you can easily see from this thread [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] , is a good way to provide the education needed to provoke the attitude adjustment.
