Poker is a game that is misunderstood by many. The first thing that comes to mind (unfortunately) is that poker is a gambling game. However, if it were a gambling game, casinos would get involved and play against players such as in blackjack, roulette, slots, etc. Poker is a game where the house is not involved. This is because poker, is a people's game which factors in psychological, mathematical, strategic, and logical play.
Many people around the world have been making a living playing poker on a daily basis. Online Poker was just another way of making their living, which is on the same line as trading stocks or other investments online. With a correct amendment to the US legislation, US poker players will be allowed to continue to make a living and boosting the economy.
