Re: Poker as a skilled gambling game that involves wagering skill

However, I hold little faith that there is a chance in the world that we can ever get the general populace, or more importantly the legislative and judicial bodies in this country, to say that the presence of a significant skill factor makes a gambling game into an non-gambling game.

Very good point.
Alas, a lot of effort is likely being wasted pushing the 'poker=skill, ergo it's legal' view.
Pick-pocketing takes a LOT of skill.
Haven't heard of too many House Bills legalizing it...
