A friend named Abe sent me a story in the Washington Post that caught my attention and will hopefully catch yours as well. It’s about poker clubs IN HIGH SCHOOLS. Revolutionary concept?

Skill or Chance? South Carolina Judges to Decide (In Their Opinion) What Kind of Game Poker is…..

The South Carolina State Supreme Court is considering whether or not to overturn a Charleston judge’s 2009 decision that poker is a game of skill, therefore overturning the conviction of five Mount Pleasant gamers arrested in 2006.
