I hear ya clar.

I was playing a poker game at the MGM with a politician who will remain nameless and he said something that made a ton of sense. It had nothing to do with online poker but about legalizing marijuana. I said "so do you think we should legalize it?" and he said "Daniel, I don't understand how tequila is legal and marijuana isn't." Great point. When is the last time you heard of someone smoking pot and causing an awful car accident or beating thier wife?

I think this is along the same lines. I can go to the bar and drink my ass off, potentially killing people on the ride home, but I can't gamble my own hard earned money in the privacy of my own home? I just don't get it.


Also funny story how he knew my name, he bet me like 5/1 that he could guess my name. He did and I paid him. It turned out that when the dealer swiped my players card my name popped up on a little display on the table and he could read it from his seat. When I tried to guess his name I made him show me his I.D. to verify I got it horribly wrong and it said "governor of ******" on it. I asked him about it and he confirmed he was in fact the governor of a US state. Basically he was drinking his ass off all night, checking out women, cracking jokes, and was a cool down to earth guy and I don't wanna out the guy. Politics are ghey ftw.
