Poker is one of my favorite hobbies.  I've always truly enjoyed the game of poker, luck is involved but there is still a lot of skill involved as well.  The fact that is illegal in my state yet I see people lined up to buy fucking scratch tickets anytime I go into a convenience store, it pisses me the fuck off.  Oh I can buy those because the governments getting their cut and rigging the results, but I can't play poker and nobody can open up an establishment to play poker in, which would certainly be a successful business.
