I don't like gambling, but would not want to go back to a prohibition of it. That seems to make me more of a libertarian on this issue. The upside to legalized gambling is that it helps to limit the power of organized criminal involvement in the industry. (The down sides are many.)

No one has a problem playing poker online who wants to. The problem with online poker is that the card flow is terrible. Until people address the realism of the game it will never replace the local indian casino and Vegas.
