Re: Is poker an ethical way to make a living?
[ QUOTE ]
I'm not a professional player I only play recreationally, however I am of the opinion I could care less if people think it's ethical or not just based upon the profession.
I live here in Vegas and have the pleasure of knowing a lot of poker players some who are pros and in the groups I hang with I have never met a better class of people.
And for so called reputable businessmen, professions and people...let's take a look at how some of that has worked out.
Enron.
Lincoln Savings and Loan.
Arthur Anderson, And Company.
WorldCom
History is filled with such stories but in the business world those stories are like cockroaches in the light.
If you see 1 there are a 1,000 hiding.
We are in a business where we are not stealing anyone's money, people make a choice to come and play and understand the risks even if they don't understand the game...because they come to "gamble."
