Poker is a game that when your dealt the card, you have to use your own skills and knowledge to enhance yourself above the rest to either convince a player something you want them to think (bluffing) or play your own cards right to enhance the rewards. I cannot see what this is illegal when there are other things like horse racing which is allowed when that is 100% luck and genuinely not in the players control.

The game of poker is no longer looked upon as a game played in smokey back rooms,the game is played all over the world and is enjoyed by millions. It is ridiculous that a game which brings both sides of the community together without any problems is being victimised by laws which are completely out of date.the game is played openly in the mainland uk so why it is not allowed in Ni is hard to understand,it seems a crazy situation that players from the north have to travel down south to play in bigger tournaments that could otherwise be played in the north.AS a ni resident I would much rather see local hotels and businesses get this much needed trade.

I found a poker league where I could play for free (or put in a fiver if I wanted) and have a night out where I wouldn't feel the need to drink more than a couple of pints and therefore drank more responsibly and spent less. I can't explain how much this helped me at a rough time.
Now I host a poker league in Stirling and see a lot of people who don't enjoy gambling but like a night when they can win money for no more than a £5 buy in, but most of them chose not to pay and just enjoy the company and the game. The one player who may be considered to have a gambling problem is dragged away from the bookies a night a week to a more responsible and social game.
From this experience I believe legalising poker in Northern Ireland will have NO bad consequences. Its about time!
