    I really wish he said 300 instead of 800.

    The argument of whether poker is a game of still is rather pointless. Why don't they get the top 10 judges to play 10k hands each heads up vs a top hu poker pro, say $50k starting roll for each, and then when they've lost all of their money they will understand. Tax the pro's winnings. The state gets income and an education. Problem solved.
