Message: [QUOTE="pricecube, post: 1716229, member: 78723"] Are you sure this GA bloke wasn't Joan Rivers? Sounds like some of the stuff she was coming out with about poker players on The Apprentice. As for poker being gambling, there is a gambling element. There is luck involved, of course. But when you keep seeing the same faces at the final tables of these huge events year in year out, the skill element is undeniable. I've come to learn that more as I've studied and played - I wouldn't have recognised the skill factor before investigating for myself. Sounds like the GA bloke has his little spiel that he has to stick to based on his treatment and that's absolutely fine. No harm in highlighting what can happen to some people as far as gambling is concerned - I suppose him spouting opinions as though they were fact is somewhat unavoidable though. [/QUOTE]
