Re: What good are we? As poker players, are we socially responsible?
Some of you are just plain wrong.
We provide no entertainment to others. It is usually more fun for losing players to play with other losing players.
The money we pay in rake is a business expense. We are talking about the money we take home. The amount we pay in rake is not significantly helpfull to society relative to what would have happened to the money had we not been involved.
Our jobs themselves (as online or cash game casino pro poker players) are of nearly no utility to society. This is an inescapable and undisputable fact.
If you are an extremely moral person you can compensate for this by being involved in a lot of charities.
