Poker, unlike other games, requires an understanding of math. I would think we'd want to encourage any game that might broaden the appeal of math and demonstrate its utility, given that this nation is in desperate need of a new generation of mathematicians and scientists.

I hope that you remain active in fighting for our right to play online. The way that you handle yourself at the tables makes you an excellent ambassador for the game. Good luck at this year's WSOP, I hope to see you make another deep run at the main event. Mr. Raymer,

All those poor people's money, lost while gambling online on their laptops from the comfort of their own bathroom, should absolutely not be prevented from remaining within the US economy.

Each player agrees to sit at the table knowing the rules ahead of time. Winner takes all on each hand. Over the expanse of time (an evening, a tournament, a career) the most skilled at the game tend (tend, with no guarantees) to benefit the most. I learned long ago I suck at Poker so it is my choice to avoid the pursuit. As far as taxing & regulating is concerned; I guess I'm OK with it on principle - but something tells me we should wait until the Progressives are run out of power for good first. I don't know, maybe it's that insatiable appetite for other people's money the Progressives have. http://libertyatstake.blogspot.com/ It seems to me poker is an exemplary Libertarian pursuit.

Even with the regulations in place it is easy to get money in and out of the sites. Unlike most casino games, poker is a game of skill that is common place at many households. Regulation has been a joke so we may as well find a way for the government to make some money on it by regulating and taxing. I don’t understand why they just don’t regulate and tax online poker.
