Re: Adanthar, reflect a bit , markets work, laws already apply to this
Its not jumping to a conclusion to say the free market doesn't work for poker. Poker is a like a problem of the commons. Someone has to protect the marketplace, the fish pool, whatever you want to call it. Sooner or later, something will come out bigger and worse that will push poker back. Not one single room has ever stood up and laid their integrity out. No one has given away power to shut them down, or confiscate assets if they cheat. You think they are just going to play nice forever? Some people just shouldnt be allowed to take Econ10 because they always come out screaming about free market this, and free market that.
The market is a great thing, but not an unfettered one. Smith and Ricardo got that.
