The argument for legal poker, as I understand it, is whether or not it's a game of skill. If it is, then it should be legal. Otherwise, it is just gambling like roulette or blackjack. And we all know that gambling is only socially acceptable in certain states. There will always be degenerates like slevin, but that's beside the point.
