Poker is a game of skill for the 10% who play it well, but for the other 90% it is no different than slot machines, playing blackjack or roulette, or betting on horses.
I understand the reasoning behind the "poker is a game of skill argument", but the law is designed to protect the vast majority of people who don't know how to play.
Blackjack is also a game of skill if you know how to count cards. Roulette is a game of skill if you can find imperfections in the wheel.
Just by proving a game is a "game of skill" doesn't automatically mean it should be legal.

Laws are not in place to protect people from themsleves, they exist to protect us from each other. In a free society, we don't need laws to protect dumb people from doing dumb things to themselves.
