Using your idiotic logic then pretty much anything you do or spend, is a gamble and justifies wholesale casinos statewide. Buy a new car? Gamble. New shoes? Gamble. Life is a gamble but in no way justifies Casino gambling. Play Russian Roulette if you want the ultimate gambling experience.

Reality isn't your strong suit.


I thought as a Republican you enjoyed the thought of people making their own decisions.

If people want to gamble, be it at tribal casinos, it's THEIR FUKING CHOICE. I thought freedom of choice was a T-bagger-embraced theory.

Oh wait... it involves injuns. Nevermind.

Another whack job makes himself known.

First person that's ever accused me of being a Republican and in the context it makes even less sense.

Yes it is peoples own choice but we as a state and as a people don't have to go gang busters with state wide casinos to appease them. Very weird logic going on here. Maybe it's the holidays and your brain cells are maxed out?

And if you think you are going to make a living playing poker then I'll sit on the side lines and bet against you. Odds are with me and odds are you will be a loser in many ways. Too bad when the odds catch up to you that we the people have to pick up the tab for you and your family.

Most people set limits as to how much they are willing to lose. Playing slots or most table games you should probably think of it as a form of entertainment. How much would you spend to ski, or golf, or go to a concert?

Many people think of Poker as a business. They are very careful to play within thier means. It is callled "Bankroll Management"


What I observered is thousands of people gambling and one person at the payout window

stlhead, I am not attempting to make a living at Poker. I just enjoy playing. And I play pretty much everyday, generally while I am on Dialysis here at my desk. I am playing for very low stakes. The last time I funded my account was in April. I put in a $100 bucks and have played literally hundreds of hours since then. At current I am pretty much staying even. Pretty good entertainment value, if you ask me.

Just like many people here (well, maybe not here)and through out the World, I have a bucket list. One of those items would be to play in a $1500 Omaha 8 or better tournament at the World Series of Poker. Perhaps this year if I can work hard enough or perhaps win enough to make it to Vegas.

Know what Santa Clauses favorite Poker Hand is?

Jerry; No doubt Slots are not a winning proposition. Black Jack can be profitable with great study and discipline.
