Default Re: Harvard Poker Debates

I'm guessing foucault will probably post a trip report later since he was taking notes, but long story short:

nesson: bizarre but very smart guy who has good ideas for how to legalize poker
lederer: normal and very smart guy who has good ideas for how to legalize poker
crandell addington: typical old poker player, has no idea how to form an argument or answer a question, and has no good ideas for how to legalize poker. got into an argument with him about whether there is any skill involved in preflop poker. my argument probably wasn't very good because I get awkward speaking in front of a lot of people, but his was worse so its cool, and I could see howard nodding along with me as I talked.
foucault: cool guy. had a nice conversation with him about how terrible making lots of money at poker is.

I haven't decided if I'm gonna go tomorrow, but it should be a lot better (but perhaps less entertaining) without crandell there.
