Poker is Allegedly a Game of Skill



So PokerStars wants to get back into the action of ripping off the United States. "It's a game of skill, not chance." I can only imagine the spokeshole that has to talk about it to the media. You can't have it both ways. You can't be a site where people are playing with skill to legitimize your claim, and have endless tables of something fractionally looking like real poker. There has been, is and will continue to be tables that don't just encourage "all in." It's specifically defined by the host of the table. Hey guys, I sat at this empty table first and it's RAGE and you have to go all in every hand.

You are part of some bizarre club that loves the luxury of not having to think about your play. Perhaps Tic Tac Toe would be more your speed. My apologies - tic tac toe requires more thought than PokerStars RAGE. I'll give you a hint if you want to change games. Take the center square. Sorry, I didn't mean to insult the professional "tackers" out there.

(Note to self - make a movie about Matt Damon being a professional tic tac toe player who buddy's up a mechanic that can manipulate the nine space grid. It makes about as much sense as what goes on at PokerStars.)
