Hi Guys,

not sure this is the right place, but it looks related.

I am standing to trial in my country (Israel) in related to poker, the country says poker is a game of chance, and I am trying prove the game is a skill game.

the court asked me to provide a research about the world, and how other countries are looking at the question, I know we had a lot of cases in US, and other places, so I wanted to know if someone here can help get all of that info?

specially the case in Sweden, which I cant find myself.

Thanks,
Roni

Not sure what to say, but the choice really was this or shut down.
If you are the one who came up with the PPA’s “daily action plan” to send texts for Congressional staffers to delete, then yep you have great value.

Done, that post took me 10 seconds!

You might try contacting a gaming lawyer in Israel.

There is an excellent pool of talent at Tal Ron's firm:

From the article, “PPA has done incredible work fighting on behalf of poker players. Poker Alliance intends to expand on that effort and create wider opportunities for poker enthusiasts to participate in the sport of poker across the United States.”

How much total funding did they squander?

Did they ever win a fight as a result of all their incredible work?

Aside from the executives and staff, what opportunities did the PPA create?

Poker is a sport in the US?

Article continues, “We believe in the mission and efforts of PPA to recognize and sensibly authorize the sport of poker throughout the country, offline and online. To ensure continuity, former PPA leadership will be involved in Poker Alliance in an advisory capacity. We’ll be announcing more on that soon.”

Poker as a sport, former PPA leadership involved, continuity... Should we laugh or cry?

well, if you didn't kick in for gas, then stfu lol

I think my stfu was clearly aimed at those who have literally done jack squat towards legalized poker but have lots of spare time to be an ass on NVG

It was prefaced with 'share with us what you've done'

So Mr stfu, do you have any accomplishments to share?

Seriously, just lose the attitude. Nobody is criticizing the people involved, and there's no need to get defensive. It simply didn't work out, and you don't need to take it personally.

You're not responsible. Just breathe. Don't look to pick fights. Let it go.

No. We're in this thread, where you seem comfortable with smearing other people who are simply expressing their opinion.

So, following your lead: If you're going to disrespect your fellow players, you should tell us what YOU accomplished, or just stfu

Yes, and without defense mechanisms that distorted my understanding.
