I really think they are beginning to shut down a lot of these places because of the money they confiscate,

Thats just a small part of it. The main problem is that these places have gotten to be too high profile.

Years ago, pretty much only the people who were in the poker world knew about these clubs and they knew who to tell and who not to tell (sure the cops knew, but the clubs weren't a problem so they ignored them) Now everybody knows about these clubs. They are discussed openly. It used to be that some guy lost all his money playing poker and then got called into family court because he didn't pay his child support, wouldn't tell the judge that he lost all his money trying to play poker professionally at the little club on 1st St. he made up a story, because he knew that he shouldn't tell the judge about the poker room. Now these people go in and talk about it openly, because the clubs operate so openly, and the people coming to these clubs don't realize that these clubs are the underworld and you keep your mouth shut about it. Now some accountant goes to a poker room and somebody calls him a [censored] and threatens to beat him up and the accountant is down at the police station filing a harrassment complaint. The Police can't keep ignoring that.

Bingo. Rumor has it that B's game here near DC was shut down because some lame ass was stealing from the safe at work to go play. He got caught, of course, blabbed the whole thing and within a couple months the game was busted.

True but in the annals of suckage it is but a minor footnote, given the amount.

Re: EV Gets raided last night....
 

My brother was telling me there were a few guys there with over 700 in front of them, which really sucks. Imagine sitting at the table with 1000, 700 of which is profit, then next thing you know, without playing a hand you busted out.

The 1/2 games there had a good amount of action. There was probably about 5-6k on my table. I would not be surprised if there was >10K on the main table. 5 or 6 tables running I think.

Re: EV Gets raided last night....
 

So... there's definitely an increased crackdown right now... i was playing around mentally with a pretty lame theory that this is a pre-election "tough on crime" publicity stunt... hoping the busts would stop after November... but it doesn't make sense.... "MIKE BLOOMBERG: TOUGH ON CRIME. TOUGH ON POKER" is not really compelling and I don't think the general public sees card rooms as any kind of threat.... I wonder if the illegal card room scene will retreat back into the shadows as some are urging... or if it's simply more attractive as a business venture for someone to open a club, earn several hundred thousand during the club's life span (EV was open less than 6 months I believe), and walk away with a profit when it gets busted. Doing that one or more times may be more financially attractive than setting up a super-private venture that takes a long time to earn the same amount of money.
