Look up Billy Baxter's case vs the IRS. Favorable ruling, with the judge finishing up by saying "If the government really believes poker is not a game of skill, I invite them to sit down at a table with Mr Baxter" or something similar.

Huh, yeah sure ..... go right ahead. I think you have the perfect defense:

"Hey, your honor, I asked a bunch of anonymous posters on 2+2 if it was legal."

Though everyone credits Billy Baxter, the IRS chose a different case they thought there was a better chance to win, http://nersp.nerdc.ufl.edu/~acadian/...etzingered.pdf

This case was decided in 1987.

The REAL importance here is an argument that everyone overlooks, in the case the Supreme Court ruled for Groetzinger AND STATES that GAMBLING is a 'SKILL'!

He wagered on Dog racing.

You will find this at the bottom of page 5 in Red.
