Poker-The All American Game

America has long been called the melting pot, in which the world's immigrants come together and become a nation, proud and strong. When you think of a melting pot, it brings forth images of precious metals heated down to their molten form and put in the molds to solidify. The roots of poker reach back to European aristocrats. Poker is a true product of the American spirit. Those who battle so diligently to keep others from this sport. I truly believe do not know its history or its effect on those who have played, and will continue to play. Just as our fathers and their fathers fought for freedom, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. So we must muster up the troops and do battle against those who would keep us from those freedoms. Poker has a rich and deep history, I feel should be imparted.

Channel 11 news, in this story dated 2/15/05 out of Lubbock. They say,knowing whether you're playing in a legal or illegal poker game could be tricky. It could just be a matter of who's playing or running and the game. Are you feeling in the nip of the wringer yet.
