Texas Hold Em is allowed in Maine as long as half of buy ins for tournaments go to charity. Read this article from today's Portland Press Herald.
Here is a quote from the article that puts me on tilt. This is the most irrational idiot ever.
"This poker stuff is a gateway to a lot of compulsive gamblers getting involved," said Arnie Wexler, who served eight years as executive director of New Jersey's Council on Compulsive Gambling.
"These tournaments are going to be the first time some of these people gambled. Some of them are going to become addicted. Then you're going to see a real disaster. Once somebody gets addicted, it destroys their whole life," Wexler said. "This poker stuff is like crack cocaine was 25 years ago."
