People!

We're shooting ourselves in the foot here!!

We benefit greatly from the misconception that poker is luck. It's to our advantage to be lumped in with blackjack, slot machines and keno.

DUCY?

Please do not tap the glass!

If it stays illegal, eventually they will figure out how to stop it. It's just a matter of time. DUC that?

yeah, for purposes of legislation we don't want it considered gambling. I doubt they will stop it but it would be better if it wasn't as harshly regulated, more donks would play
donks would still consider it gambling enough to play though

as for poll, i think biggest factor is whether your name rhymes with jamie gold

Plenty of bad players play because they think/know it is skill and think they can beat it. I think less players play online blackjack than poker.


So no, I do not CY

I voted mostly skill, because it's the opposite of what that idiot interviewed by USA Today says.
