What a joke.. Is this the world we live in, hang them you honer, guilty beyond sin, we must make an example of them.
They should hold a game in court and if they win the game it should prove its a game of skill.

Iv just been doing a bit of reading on the case, quite a nice set up they had. They should not have took a fee but insteed sold drinks etc at a high price, like buy a 60$ coke and play for free.

Ah, poker is considered a game of luck/chance in my country as well, and it's often considered as a form of hardcore gambling .... common misconception

Isn't age of consent in Canada 16?
As for the 3 men, how big was the tournament?

I think it is 16, think russia is only place to have it below that at 14. But I think you have to be 18 to be a gay lol. The tourns was quite big, There were 22 people inside when police broke down the door and three more arrived during the raid, they made close to 1k per tourn at a cost of 100 for rent.+ all the extras id guess.

Yep its like our govenment at the moment, spending up to 300k per district to cut back on fraud, but the fraud is estimated to cost the system 100k per district, fkn crazy, thats my tax money down the drain.

"Three more arrived during the raid"
lol, It would be funny if they thought of something like; "Is this the someone's residence? Must have the wrong place" than try and leave lol.
I guess it doesn't matter, only 3 of the are charged.
I think they should have a licence to host the tournament but gambling is illiegal? I'm confused.

B1gfoot | 15/02/2009 18:17:22 GMT |
The outhers involved i belive they could only get a max fine of $100, so i guess its no biggi for them. Not 100% on the laws, think they varey from state to state, all a bit messy.

bless america. proof they have it all wrong. which is more dangerous, a country with some poker players or a country that is so heavily armed? 10 million people in texas, 50 million registered firearms. anybody think that US government have funny ideas regarding "protecting" their citizens? i suppose gambling is unholy and america has such a good social concience that they cant be seen to be upsetting god. hmmmm. or not

B1gfoot, I see. Have you heard Mike Sexton went to court to fight for one case, I'm not sure if it was this case but the judge decided it was a game of skill. There was one interesting question the judge asked Sexton, what is the result of two players with the same skill level. One would think luck but Sexton said no one can be the same skill level as another player and the winner would be the one who makes the most correct decisions.
But, the Judge hasn't decided if it was a home game or not.

B1gfoot | 16/02/2009 19:53:39 GMT |
thats a diffent case, think i posted it a while back may have bee kntucky cant quite remember. but if i remember correct the judge was partial to a game or 2. and think the law only applies to tourns, could be wrong.

GeneYuss | 17/02/2009 14:50:48 GMT |
The case I'm talking about happened in South Carolina. I would post the link but I don't want to violate forum rules. South Carolina case is more recent, did Mike Sexton testify in the Kentucky case too?
