In Ohio, poker (or games of chance) is legal if played with friends at home as long as the house doesn't take a profit. Me and my friends sometimes play on "credit" and on good faith if they don't have the cash on them at the time. Over the course of the last year and a half, one of my friends has $500 in debt to me. I have many witnesses. I have been patient and now I would like to collect on this "credit" i extended to him. Would I be able to file a claim in small claims court for this? If not, what other legal avenues would I have?

As far as the law is concerned, your friend owes you no money.
The terms of an illegal contract, which is what you have, cannot be enforced by a court of law.

Obama care is not so bad. So it cost you more and the deductibles and out of pocket costs are higher. Just forgo your morning coffees, skip the lunches out and walk to work 3x per week and you can save the extra expense for this fine law. The real benefit is that everyone will be equally provided affordable health care. So when you go to the doctors office after waiting 6 weeks for an appointment you will feel so good to see that the guy sitting next to you is the guy you see asking for money that you avoid every time you head to work. A Spanish mother sitting across from you with the 6 children under 5yo is pregnant and getting her check up. Heroin addicts are sitting near the door waiting to get their prescriptions of methadone. So as you sit back and enjoy the fruits of American life you will be proud and often honored to salute the picture of our leader that will be on every medical facility waiting room. Oh how fine life will be. And as you drive home you will pass the magnificent architecture of the medical office for government employees and see how hard they have it with having to deal with the valet parking and available when needed office visits.

While I do not practice in Ohio, to my knowledge the only state that enforces private gambling debts is Nevada.

You will most likely need a signed agreement.
