    I was reading a copy of the New Jersey State Constitution and this is how they define gambling:
    <blockquote>
    b. "<span>Gambling</span>" means staking or risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance or a future contingent event not under the actor's control or influence, upon an agreement or understanding that he will receive something of value in the event of a certain outcome.
    </blockquote>
    Does anyone else see how this does not define poker?

    In poker you have a skill element where you can influence certain aspects of the hand.
