Judge says Poker is a game of chance.
Tuesday, May 24, 2005
A judge in Durham county has ruled that poker is a game of chance, not skill, and therefore is prohibited under local law in North Carolina.
"Superior Court Judge Orlando Hudson's decision Monday stymied The Joker Club, which had hoped to open a poker-betting establishment here. A club lawyer indicated that Hudson's decision might be appealed."
I'd like to see this judge play Phil Ivery heads up to see just how much chance is involved. I'd bet my entire bankroll that he wouldn't win a single session in twenty attempts.
Chance.... pffft. More like fat chance you'd ever win Judge Hudson!

like that judge cares. he's the boss. i agree totally with him. its definitly a game of chance. only skill comes in is the skill to know when to jold em and know when to fold em. and thats not really a skill. just common card sense. that judge could care less about poker i am sure.
