pokerstars...poker is a game of skill not chance

pokerstars is allowing US players, they say that the gambling act shouldn't affect them because poker is a game of skill and not of chance.

Way to go

I know Full Tilt is also staying open to US accts. Good for them, because they also realize that there is about a 250+ day period where the law really isn't enforced. Although, when that time is up, it will be extremely difficult to enforce and probably won't be. Hopefully this whole ordeal didn't scare the fish off.

Well, isn't sports betting a game of skill too..?

Won't argue that fact at all, the main deal is the "corruption and fixing of games" that the government uses in their arguments about sports betting. Has this effected the sports book sites out there?
