Re: The Article I Promised Is Now In Our Magazine

You go ahead and keep believing that. In the eye of the authorities, it is better to save 1 person in danger than allow "pleasure" to a thousand sharks.
I want poker to be allowed as much as you do, but I know what it does to people and chose not to ignore it.
Those that play and especially "played" live before online poker know what I am talking about. Playing online allows you not to see the people you are playing against and hides the true face of "reality".
Sklansky's article is well writtena and all you want, but it is written from the point of view of a person that profits from poker and only other winners will agree with what he says.
Telling the world that poker is good for you is just BS. Poker is only good for those that can win.

Did you actually read the article? The point of it was that the mere act of learning poker and playing it seriously helps teach many useful attributes. (More than other games do by the way.) That would be true even for many of those who are not long run winners.
