I like the way they say the players were doing nothing illegal, then list their names anyway.

In Minnesota there are lists of people arrested for being arrested for prostitution violations. Peoples' name are put on a police list, but there is a "disclaimer" (like on the Cops tv show) about being innocent until proven guilty.

So while you are still "innocent" everyone in town will see that you have legal troubles...

KQRS 92.5FM radio publishes this list on their website. They call it the Pimps 'n Ho's List...

I've mentioned this a few times on the forums, haven't yet heard from anyone else playing in these games. They also go in New Orleans, in the suburbs actually (Kenner and Metairie are what I know about), at various neighborhood bars. NL tourney, 10-30 people, $50 buy-in, being usual. every cent is paid out. the word is that the cops were starting to move against the games, but so far are not going to bc the money all stays in the game. I'd be surprized if the games hold up anyway because the casinos paid a lot of money to get into and stay in business. but it's great action while it lasts, if you know your way around outside of NO proper.
