For those of you that believe Poker is gambling.

[Vince Lepore]

When I use the term Gamble I mean:

[ QUOTE ]
"To engage in any activity in which money is put at risk for the purpose of making a profit, and which is characterized by some or most of the following (in approximately descending order of importance): little or no research has been conducted; the odds are unfavorable; the behavior is risk-seeking; an unsystematic approach is being taken; emotions such as greed and fear play a role; the activity is a discrete event or series of discrete events not done as part of a long-term plan; the activity is significantly motivated by entertainment or compulsion; ownership of something tangible is not involved; no net economic effect results."

If any of you believe that poker is a gambling game, given this definition, and treat it as such, please play at my table.
