'I figured if I ever went broke at poker, it wouldn't be because my best wasn't good enough to keep me afloat. It'd be because my worst was bad enough to sink me.'
rake free is gonna be the only way round it so i imagine the gutshot et al will all be membership based and no rake charged rather than shutting up shop

That's fucking wank! The prosecution lawyer was a fucking prick! His arguments were those of a wanker who had done no research into the game whatsoever. Biggest load of bollox I've ever come across this. He has to appeal. I fucking hate this shit hole of a country

Shuffled cards
He said: "Is poker a game of mixed skill and chance? That is for you to decide. The prosecution submit that common sense dictates that it is.
"Why do we say that? We say that because before a game can start someone shuffles the cards."
Mind you, how rubbish must the defence lawyers have been if they couldn't counteract that bollox
