Very cool. I didn't realize you were that far reaching Skallagrim.

If you search these forums and the Sklansky forums you will find the proof as first put forward by me. Howard took the basic idea and refined it extremely well (with some ideas from Sklansky) and added some additional points that make the argument even stronger. Howard and I discussed his article prior to its publication. I dont mean to take anything away from Howard, he took the basic idea and made it very presentable in a way that was far better than what I had done - it was like I gave it birth but he nurtured it into a beautiful adult.
Anyway, I am proud of this proof (justifiably I think) and appreciate any recognition I get from it. But the article is Howard's - he deserves the credit for the final product.
The more important point is to use it in courts (hopefully succesfully) to establish poker as a legally recognized game of skill. As Senator Kyl of AZ said (yes, that Sen. Kyl), if we do that the UIGEA does not apply to our game in most US states.
