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.

How long has it been since you've actually been in a poker room? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

TT is very correct with respect to the NYC poker scene. Before leaving a game at the place that was recently robbed, my table included a couple of lawyers, a member of the Marines, a relatively famous screen and TV actor, and a judge.

And I'm sure that is a fair representation of every poker game in town. And I'm sure that the Judge, marine, Lawyers, and actor never purchased a lottery ticket.
