Serious question: How do you know this? I'm not disputing you.

well, i dont know it for sure.

however, the common public perception of poker is that no one has an edge and will go broke eventually. this is reiterated in many articles in newspapers, even by alleged gambling experts.

now, the nature of support groups is that a little bit is too much for addicts. for alcoholics and druggies, the group will not tolerate any use. in their eyes, it is impossible for one to have a beer at dinner.

so, i can only presume that ga has the same perspectives.
