but if there is one less way to blow their money... out of the million people who have that problem, that will help out someone. And that makes a difference

They are either going to gamble it away to you... Or to a casino playing craps or baccarat.
I would rather they give it to me.

Not only that, but the real degenerates are the ones that will use all the workarounds that the casual players won't use.

I didn't read the rest of the thread.

Ever think of how many people me [censored]? Have we caused a divorce? probably... Hey I'm not for it getting banned, but we poker players have [censored] so many people out of money they shouldn't be gambling with... at least we know it is helping some people out

This is a horrible argument. Those people make a decision to sit down and gamble knowing full well they could lose, it's inherent in gambling. It's their responsibility to stop when they lose X amount, it's their responsibility not to sit at the table with rent money, not ours. You can't make yourself responsible for other peoples decisions or try to save them from every mistake.

You could make this argument about any form of entertainment. Should Blizzard stop making World of Warcraft because some people can't handle it and get so addicted that it harms their lives? Despite the fact that most of the player base loves the game and is entirely capable of not having that problem? It's much the same thing. After all, time is money.

We need to ban bread. 99% of divorced people ate bread within the previous 24 hours!

Uggghh. Just uggghhh.

So should bartenders feel guilty that a small % of their clientele may develop into problem drinkers?

What about PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY!!!!!!!!!!
