Message: [QUOTE="ninjareal, post: 7289998, member: 323567"] I also think some people/countries are confused whether or not poker is a sport or a mind game or entertainment or simple gambling ? what's the difference really ? Govts especially just want to know which allows them to tax more, whether it's tv rights or any other aspect which allows them to garner more $ , for poker and perhaps forms of gambling , it is very painful as the govt only wants to be involved when you win, what about when you lost ? did the govt stake you then ?? I doubt it , . side note, whichever govt thinks it's a game of chance , I'm willing to play them heads-up all day long as long as they jam ever hand with no skill, just chance and then they should should tax their losses as much as my winnings, = zero and I keep all my winnings [/QUOTE]
