Re: Being told \"professional poker doesn\'t contribute to society.\"
What do casinos contribute to society? In other words, why to people play blackjack? For entertainment. They know the odds are stacked against them, but they play anyway because they enjoy it. Professional poker players are like mini-casinos. People play against them for fun, and for the challenge of trying to beat them. So we provide the same service the casinos do, and that is something that people value.
