I have seen some people on here advocating poker as a Fastlane vehicle, but is it really? Not trying to demean the poker players here (I play myself), but does it really follow the Fastlane guidelines? According to MJ, a successful Fastlane enterprise necessarily fills a void and therefore provides value to others. What kind of value does poker provide to anyone but the person playing? Playing poker as a money-making venture is also time dependent in that you have to play to make money and is almost impossible to turn into a passive system (or not?). Trading time for money = Slowlane, right? I know you can make lots of money in a short time with poker, but is it really "Fastlane"? In my opinion, a better way to make poker Fastlane would be to start a poker website although that's pretty difficult right now with the draconian anti-Internet gambling laws on the books. I guess you could make it a membership site or something like that. Am I wrong here?
