Can everyone please stop straying from the point of this thread? Poker is for all people; the law does not discriminate between "uneducated, degenerate gamblers" and "professionals."

That is a bit naive. Fighting a policy battle on behalf of lowlife degenerate gamblers would not be the same as fighting one on behalf of a group that included well-to-do white collar professionals. In that sense, the demographic of the player base matters.

That said, it's a steep uphill battle either way. Everyone should just suck it up and move to CA.
