Dear Keith Whyte (executive director of the National Council on Problem Gambling),
So, I see you have nothing better to do with your time then stick your nose into other people’s business. I recently read an article from your council (code word for colossal waste of government money) and am writing to you because I feel you owe me 5 minutes of my life back. It makes me sick that you even have an audience to your self righteous blasphemy. It makes me so sick that I don’t even know if I am going to be able to finish this online poker game I am in the middle of. In case you forgot about the crap you penned I have include some excerpts from your last case of keyboard diarrhea.
With poker in particular, Whyte says, people "think their skill is going to trump the random outcome of the game, and that is a very dangerous thing." "The less able they are to understand odds or randomness, or the more control you believe you have over random events, the more likely you are to have a problem gambling," he says.
First things first. Your name is misspelled. White is spelled as I just wrote it. It contains an “I” not a “Y”. Never has and never will! Who do you think you are some late 80’s heavy metal band? Give me a break with that spelling.
Second, trying to refute the fact that poker is a skill game is ridiculous. How do you think that Phil Helmuth and Doyle Brunson got rich playing poker? Are they just two of the luckiest dudes around? You should try thinking about what you say before you open your pie-hole.
In the United States, gamblers lost $2.8 million in Internet poker in 2003.
Are you serious? God I hope you’re a good looking dude because you sure as hell are a stupid son of a bitch. We’ll do this slowly. If people lost $2.8 million playing internet poker, then other people WON $2.8 million playing internet poker. Where is the fucking problem in that? So some people lost money to other people. Call it a stupid tax for sucking at poker. You should probably pony up some stupid tax yourself for the crap you say not to mention picking the all time biggest buzz kill of a job. What’s in line for the rest of your career? Are you hoping for that big promotion to the National Council on Problem Drinking Beer and Hanging Out With Your Friends? Or maybe you want to be the spokesperson for the Coalition Against Steak and Martini’s.
Why are you all up in arms over 2.8 million dollars. That means ALL THE PEOPLE IN AMERICA who lost money playing poker can’t even afford a decent shortstop.
Look man, next time you both your buddies are hanging out drinking non-alcoholic beer and playing pin the “H” on the omo, take a good long look at how bad you suck. It’s not too late to change. Remove the stick from your ass, relax, and for Christ sake, keep you nose out of other people business. I mean is problem gambling really a worthy cause to spend a career fighting? Kids are starving on the streets and women are being battered in their own homes but god forbid I have a little fun wagering on something via the internet. Good life you chose for yourself asshole.

It’s a safe bet you suck,
