I don't know much about the game of poker, except that it involves bluffing one's opponents to believe that one has a hand which will be higher than theirs, so I will ask a question: Is it possible to play competitive poker without the risk of losing money?

No

Ah the Thai authorities approach to anything that doesn't belong in a Disney movie; try to control it, label it, put it in a pigeonhole, create absurd amounts of legislation and bureacracy around it and finally give it rubber stamps. Lots of rubber stamps, that'll fix it.

 

Net result - nothing changes except the authorities feel like they're in control again. Yawn. Next.

Absolutely!

I play for fun with friends quite often.
