Also lets discuss NY State Lottery. Its a game of chance, marketed to poor, destitute and undereducated NY'ers who have zero control over their destiny. Poker attracts educated and financially secure people - people who understand probability and wish to control their own destiny.

Actually, compared to 7-8 years ago when I first started playing in card rooms, the demographic has changed substantially. Sure, you still have the degenerates, but an increasing percentage of players are indeed professionals enjoying the game as a hobby.
