Ahhhhhhhh Shit (UK courts are asses)

Under what circumstances anywhere would you expect to see government make a decision that cuts itself out of the loop financially?

The "poker-isn't-gambling" crowd isn't going to like this, but poker indeed *is* a combination of skill and luck, and while skill dominates in the long run, 95% of the people who play poker in the B&M world will never see the long run.

Its the luck factor that gives the skill players their edge. Bad players have to win often enough to prompt them to stick around.

Besides, put 10 equally skilled players at a table for a SNG and if all 10 never make a mistake, the result will be 100% based upon luck.
