Message: [QUOTE="Potheadwoman, post: 1717846, member: 77034"] To be quite frank you should be more disappointed that your school wasted its time and money to have a gambling addict speak at your school. And as soon as you get to college you will realize there is almost no point in trying to discuss or argue in a fair manner with a lecturer. The fact that this guy would refer to pro poker players as degenerates is laughable because he himself obviously was a bigger degenerate because he played a game of luck with a mathematical probability against him. It also sounds like he was to stupid or lazy to transition his gambling thrill from a game of huge wins and bigger losses into a game that plays more into the law of averages. It never dawned on him that over time everyone gets the same cards the exact amount of times as anyone else much like a coin flip. However the difference is poker has no house but a fee. So the way we play our cards, use our math, and take advantage of a players flaw overtime produces an edge in the long run against our opponents. Poker is a game where you have an absurd amount of variables that can be adapted to in every situation. Blackjack is a simple game where you can only minimize your loss in the long run. So when you run into someone like this in the future dont bother. This guy obviously has a problem with his personality and is not worth debating. Not only does he have that problem but also has the problem of identifying ability over luck. Which comes full circle back to his personality. To wrap this up your school could have had a recovering drug addict in your school because that problem is way more prevailing than a gambling problem. So dont sweat it. Just remember you play poker because you like earning money not losing it. [/QUOTE]
