not after seeing several friends and colleagues quickly get addicted to it and ending up loosing serious money.
As people are clearly allowed to attack me but I'm not allowed to defend myself, I no longer post to this site.

Sigh! I am currently wage-serfing too far from home (leave for work at 7 and return home at 7); sometimes, I get a little snarky -- thanks for not taking it too personal. And only getting only 40 hrs per week (not like the beginning of the year when I was getting 60 hours).

IIRC, playing poker online is now a felony in Washington state. Sorry

Actually, playing online poker is not illegal in the US as far as I can see. The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act is concerned with blocking financial transactions related to gambling, but aimed at banks rather than individuals. There is no federal law banning the act of online gambling. There is plenty online about this issue, much of it rather confusing

Assuming this is directed at me, I wasn't referring to federal law, just Washington state.
