Orlando Sentinel columnist Scott Maxwell points out some, er, inconsistencies among Florida legislators that are anti-gambling and their positions on other state games of chance, such as the lottery.

The line I like best is his comment that poker players have offered in recent months: that you can bet all you want on a slot (and horses and the lottery, for that matter) but when it comes to poker, their gambling impulses need to be controlled.

And I agree on his line about the suited Jack-10, too, even though it's what knocked me out of my most recent tournament, getting outplayed and fishing for the straight after a Q-9-6 flop.
