"A Toulouse court has ruled that poker is a game of skill after hearing a case against defendant Jean-Pierre Gleizes. The Frenchman was accused of organizing and running private poker events in public without proper licensing.
The court’s decision that poker should not be considered a game of chance is paramount to the case and would exempt Gleizes from France’s illegal gambling laws.
The defense brought forward numerous experts to demonstrate their claim including a professional poker player, a mathematics professor and even top-ranked chess and bridge players.
The prosecution has decided to appeal the court’s decision and now the case will be heard on the Conseil d’Etat, which acts as France’s Supreme Court. "
Why is it that the French can get this right, while we in the great USofA can't? Oh, that's right. I forgot. Silly me. We've got brilliant leaders like Jon Kyl running our country.

Viva la France.
All-in for now...
