First off all poker involves more that just getting lucky.

Second, it's stupid to say that poker is causing children to get a hold of credit cards and running up the bill, the issue here is about "children getting hold of credits cards (FULLSTOP)!!!" there's your problem, not poker.

Sorry lady, I play poker and I'm a fairly consistant winner on Internet Poker.

Winning money is not a crime!!!!!

i see this stuff and it makes me wonder about howard ledrer i used to respect this guy so much, he should have at least gave out a message to all the players with locekd up funds, he really fucked his reputation he handled it the worst possible way, burying your head under the sand just pisses peopel off

[vitucci41]

Lol that lady is such a stupid cunt. Let people play the game they want you fucking loser.

[L1zardK1n9]

i feel like ive seen this lady being retarded on another subject, maybe something with religion but cant think of what the subject was, but i remember being shocked over what she was saying

poker is not gambling! it's a game of skill! it's your fault if your addicted. poker is the one of the most AMERICAN things you can do. if you're against poker, then you're not a real american!these people just don't understand our way of life and why should they question our authority whether we should play cards or not?

[nybombs]

And teens using credit cards for fradulent activities? have you even played online poker? It's not just credit cards anymore, you need to send your verification of government issued ID and some proof that it is valid. how the FUCK is an eighteen year old do that? Please, tell me, because I'm UTTERLY confused by your NONSENSE!

Plus, did anyone mention you are ugly as fuck?

[nybombs]

plus, the bitch made some pretty senseless arguments... gambling connected with gangs/mafias? WHAT THE FUCK??!! Bitch, what CENTURY or PLANET are you LIVING in? For your information, this is the 21st century and we are in planet EARTH. True, 50 years ago, gambling was connected to gangs because many states OUTLAWED gambling. Now, poker is America's favorite game and is one of my hobbies that I'd like to do in my free time.

Teens playing online? LOL you need to be 18 years to look at online porn, and why is there not an discussion about that?

[madass888]

Crime? I though Las Vegas was one of the safest cities, because the mafia wanted to keep their gold mine safe.

[Disney312]

I agree. Howard sucked at defending us here.
