BluefirePoker.com Offers $1,000,000 to Prove That Poker is a Game of Skill

Posted on: Friday, 6 March 2009, 11:36 CST

- Offer is extended to President Obama and any member of the U.S. Congress with all the winnings going to charity

LOS ANGELES, March 6 /PRNewswire/ -- With Congressman Barney Frank(D-MA), Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, preparing to introduce legislation this month addressing the ambiguities of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA), BluefirePoker.com (a non-wagering Poker training site via online videos) is willing to put its money where its mouth is - to prove that Poker is a game of skill, not luck.

The folks at www.BluefirePoker.com are offering $1,000,000 to President Obama or any member of the U.S. Congress willing to play a Poker game against any of their poker pros, and the winnings can go to the charity of choice. BluefirePoker.com will put up $1,000,000 against $1 for a chance to play with either President Obama or any member of the U.S. Congress. The legislative debate centers on whether or not Poker is a game of chance or skill, and this debate determines the legality of online gambling, according to legal and legislative experts on the subject. No one in their right mind would turn down this challenge if Poker were a game based on luck, because the odds are so far in their favor - putting up $1 for a chance to win $1,000,000 for the charity of their choice.

Earlier this year, a Pennsylvania Judge, Thomas James, Jr. ruled that Poker is a game of skill in a court hearing, quoting Mike Caro's Secrets of Winning Poker, saying "the money flows from the bad players to the good players."

Why Poker Training School?

Not every aspiring Poker player will earn millions of dollars a year playing a game they love. But many are able to beat the Average Joe's salary without leaving their homes and, in this recession, that's not too shabby. With an unemployment rate close to 8% nationally, and many times that rate for Wall Street execs and former Bush appointees, it's no wonder people are looking for something else - something they enjoy, something outside the mainstream.

What? No resumes and no formal dress required. What? 6 to 7 figures annually. Too good to be true?

There are an established group of young Poker pros that can show you how it's done - dodge the 9-5 nightmare, live an envious lifestyle, make tons of cash and do their jobs with real passion.

It's hard work. No free lunches. But BluefirePoker.com has assembled the absolute hottest, most profitable Poker players on the planet to produce play-by-play videos with real money and real hands.
