"It's the soup of the day. It's very popular, but it's not gin rummy. It's not 500. It's not hearts. Those are all games of skill. This is a random game, and it's a gamble."

--Frank Ball, director of Minnesota's Alcohol and Gambling Enforcement Division. (as quoted in a Yahoo News story regarding states attempting to mesh gaming regulations with the current poker craze)

What this idiot doesn't realize is any game where you make a meaningful decision is a game of skill whether it gives you an edge or not.

Blackjack for example is a skill game, your decision will have an impact on how well you perform.

Roulette is a game of luck, your decision doesn't matter.

Somebody get this genius a dictionary and then invite him to my poker table.

He would never sit...
