So long, Jackie.

I quit going to Dallas card rooms a while back when the first raid happened. I had previously gone to these places under the legal advice that "while it may* be illegal to run these places, it is not legal to play at them." That advice became suspect when they gave tickets to the players several months back. Since then, however, I have learned that everybody who fought their ticket won in court. Very interesting. Maybe it isn't illegal? Problem is that everybody got off on technicalities (you can read about it on the 'net, I am too tired to find the links again). Hmm, so maybe it could be illegal. Legal or illegal, the tickets are Class C misdemeanors, like getting a speeding ticket. Given that, it would seem hard to justify speeding every day but not playing cards once a week. Until you remember that the SWAT team does not bust into your car holding machine guns when you speed. Big difference.

At least I can sit at home and play poker online perfectly legally. Oh wait a second…

Well, I don't play poker online, but I know someone who does. We will call him Greg. Look at Greg's performance today.



Keep in mind, this was a 6-seat table that played 4- and 5-handed for an hour. I'd rather have a machine gun pulled on me than have that kind of luck! Sucks to be Greg!

Kyle says, "dammit, Chris, I can't believe you called with that crap!"
