[b]Illegal poker[/b]

The seediest place I have played is my own unclean house online. As for the legality of poker it strikes me as ridiculous that players are arrested in underground card rooms when there are so many other crimes committed that obviously have a larger impact on society as a whole. On the way to bust an illegal card game those same cops most likely drove by drug dealers or a home where some child was being abused. These crimes should take a much larger priority in my opinion. Underground poker has some true legitimate drawbacks in that it is often held at a location where it gives kickbacks to crooked loan sharks or "connected guys." There are many cases where an underground room has been busted into by criminals that rob the participating players. So the poker rooms themselves have a certain element of criminality to them due simply to their need to be held in semi-secrecy. I just don't understand wasting time planning a raid on such places when violent crimes are so prevalent in our society. Why waste the time going after a couple card players when there are people much more deserving of a visit to the local jail?
