My argument has always been that poker should be looked at within the same legal context as bowling. I don't see any difference between me going into a bowling center and plunking down $50 to enter a bowling tournament, and going into a legal and regulated card room and plunking down $50 for a poker tournament. [/ QUOTE ] Now believe me, I'm all for legalized poker in every community, but this argument makes me laugh. Jeff |

I've played their $500 rebuy there before a few times but glad I stopped.

Jeff [/ QUOTE ] Well I didn't say it was the greatest argument in the world [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I bowled for a long time and believe me there is an element of luck when entering a tournament and how far you go. Of course the luck factor is greater in poker but I think the similarities are close enough to make the argument. |

Re: Chris Bell & Michael Gracz Charged in Poker Bust in NC
Bell lives in my neighborhood, just around the corner from me. I've never met him, but I was looking for him at our first home owners meeting tonight to see if he wanted to play in my home donkament. I had been telling my neighbor about the bust in Benson at the meeting, but I did not realize Bell was involved.
Benson is a good spot being right at I95 and I40. Had to attract some out of staters. |
