Are you sure there was no bottom dealing or anything similar going on? Braver man than me Jim, going to a strange place to meet unknown ppl to play poker.... Did you at least have any backup plan if anything went wrong?
I'm not too worried about playing poker at strange locations; hell, I played in Branford a couple times if someone wants to rob me for a couple hundred bucks, so be it. If I didn't like the guys running it or the location, I would have walked away. Since the location was fine and the guys running it, and the players I met at the bar seemed like ok guys (hell one was a dentist), I had no concerns.
As for bottom dealing, honestly, since the house makes more money than any player with the rake over a course of a night, why would they take the risk of scaring away business. Evil runs an honest game and is a good host.
My only additional comment is in regards to the disagreement between that one dealer and the player about the player making comments when not in the hand. Personally, the dealer was right about his concerns but this doesn't give him the right to dish a player. He could have approached it a lot differently. I know a lot of players that will not return to certain clubs because of bad dealers or dealers with an attitude. If a player and a dealer have a disagreement, the house should rule.
Dude get a gf and get laid or ask DrTyore to hook you up with some porn. I'm pretty sure he has pulled it out recently. Pun intended.

How about you go fuck off and getyour dick out of something thats not your business? A guy here is clearly making accusations against a moderator he can't back up, so until he does, to me he has no credibility around here.
she still sore about the heads up match and getting lucky. Even Kristy gets lucky once in a while. Have a good holiday Kristy. May the king of angels find his way into your heart.
There's a Camilla Parker-Bowles joke there, but I'm not prepared to work for it.
I forgot to check, did anyone ever beat my record of knocking you out in two hands? :P
Merry Xmas Joe and Jim
Closer, but still not "On topic": Curious how many readers think the thong-girl is a draw? I'm too far away to be a regular, but even if I weren't I'd be too creeped out by the naked girl whose life has gone so tragically wrong that she's working at the club, to play.
Do you like the idea enough to say...pay a bigger rake?
Please don't bicker over me... lol, now a couple of good looking women fighting over me... now that I wouldn't discourage...
There never was a pm from me to Evil so he can't possibly show it.... He pm'ed me, apparently in response to my post in this thread 8 days earlier. Since it was so long after I posted I was just wondering if he sent it to multiple members, ie spamming. It appears he did not so no spam.... That was what my question was about...
Now I still stand by my statement that if Evil is still around, operating a raked game, 6 months from now, I'll apologize.. Doubt it will happen, anyone want to give me odds?
Pkrfce, if you want me to PM you the rake structure PM he sent me, let me know. I don't think he wants it made public....

If it is a mod issue then take it offline. I can make any humourous intended dig I want to any PUBLICpost. If you don't like it then your bad and go fuck yourself.

I have never stuck my nose into you doing your job, so don't stick your nose into me doing mine.
And just because it is humourous to you, doesn't mean its humourous to the person its referring to. Sleep on that.
I checked over my PM's and compuease is correct...he did post with a couple of questions and I did reply with a PM. MY APOLOGIES I had a similar request for info in a PM and simply confused the two.
I have no intention of spamming or posting misleading or false info...I simply want to host a decent game giving the guys who play what they want.
Compuease...I am sure you have seen your fair share, as have I, and the whole idea is to run a decent game. I have no intention of making a profit from the tables. The food, drinks, dealers, servers, Vegas trip, and monthly Freeroll take any profit a game would generate.
I am well satisfied making a few dollars the old fashioned way....aces over 8's on the river.
I plan on sticking around only because I trust the game I play in, and I haven't been able to say that the last several months.
I am tired of 10% rakes and $15 maximums. I am tired of paying, and so is everyone else I play with. Now we have a game where there is actually something given back to those who play, and by definition it is a legal home game.
Anyway, Compuease thanks for looking out for everyone's best interest and and again I apologize for the error.
Fair enough, bury the hatchet, and we go on from here. However do be aware that taking a rake even if you plan on "awarding" it back to players later, via bonuses, trips, food, drink, etc is technically illegal. Now we around here really don't think it should be but that's a fact... Good luck with your game and hopefully you stay "under the radar".
Sounds like you have a good group and I look forward to other reviews from existing forum members.

Not really a draw, unless it was Selma Hayek.
When I go somewhere to play poker I go for the poker, not to "poke her". I'd probably be curious as to how much the scenery adds to the rake. But then again, I'm old and married. I would however take at least a small lookie when I first sat down. After all, I'm "paying" for it, if only partially.
I've gone to a couple of their games and I can honestly say that these guys are very professional and they also take care of their players very well. There's NO bullshit going on around here if theres was..i'll be the first to bounce! I've played NL in and around GTA and i recommend this as top of my list! (yeah and no one payed me to say this shit either !) all around good and respectable players on the table and knowledgeable dealers.. Besides, who else in town offers bad beat?? So all you HATERS hating on this Group go fuck yourself and come out one night so i can leave with your rent money.

Well, and just when we were starting to think Big Evil was on the up and up...... Are you the kid cousin.....?
Oh, and by the way, nice 1st post.. Welcome to the forum.

Jim, can you go back and "educate" this kid?"""
My post wasn't really intend to anyone in perticular but I guess you're the "hater"..you raised your hand! hahaha
Wow, i had a feeling you'd be the first to reply.. you're so predictable..I'm glad you enjoyed my first post! thank you.." Jim, please "educate" this kid.."?? ok?? dont hide behind Jim.
compuease..man, you must be on some serious "tilt"..i guess those little home games that you play at.. drinking apple cider..talking about girls you could've had in highschool (..oh! and ofcoarse no cash involve because according to you that would be "illegal") your "bad beat" didn't pay :-[?? but hey..When you finally decide to come out of your bomb shelter and realize that there's no nuclear war..come play with us ok? we'd love to have you!
Oh, and by the way if you could ask Jim, if he wouldnt mind educating me more on complex computer networks within the Avionics system..i think that would really help me do my job better..education is key..:)
I don't think he's the "kid cousin" . . . sounds more like a case of the younger brother with too much hero worship. Next he'll be telling you how his Dad can beat up your Dad . . . Sheesh.

I spoke to both the dealer and the player once they both cooled off and apparently they have spoken to each other since then too.
The player didn't think he was doing anything wrong and just needed a little education...the dealer just wasn't a very effective teacher...lol
All clear and they both know that I won't have any mouth running at the table.
Have a great holiday everyone
Avoiding this?

As for making accusations...it was not I that made an accusation...I simply replied to what was stated by compuease.
I will post as soon as I figure it out.
can someone tell me about the rake?
wes, what's with all the hate? ouch. and right before christmas too...

yes, please, jeff. thanks!
my penis hopes the rake is not too rape-tacular.
Come by my class anytime. If I have to deal with a student, I do it privately. If I call someone out publicly then its fair game.
Asking someone to post screenshots is BS, moronic chest thumping, my balls are bigger than yours la la la la la la la and it's wrong.
Post a screen shot!!! Pics or it didn't happen
Oh, and goodwill towards men and shit... but not women... f$#k women
