Right. Not to mention the Manhattan DA's office. And blaring the address of a club all over the internet, even here, is not a good thing for any of the NYC poker clubs.

I guess I'll just have to wait and see if this thread gets locked and/or deleted now.

I think we may have played together... regardless, you need to relax. You got caught up in the Playstation bust and that sucks. It doesn't mean you have to get all pissy with everyone else discussing poker events in NY.

Satellite Club is being used for a book signing and they have apparently authorized the publication of their name and address for this purpose.

Who knows what the effect of the publication of the stories about A-Rod/Hellmuth will be, but that is not controlled by the club that they played in or anyone else. It's that damn free press thing.

And there is no arbitrary censorship going on here from what I have read -- still, 2+2 is a private company so they are within their rights to do whatever they want with their message boards. You have the right to go elsewhere if you don't like it.

Wrong, and this is my last word on the subject. There is indeed arbitrary censorship going on here, at least in this forum. It just depends on who you're buddies are and whatever they might be promoting at the moment. Right, Johnny?

Yes, we have played together and I'm a little surprised by your comments. I would have expected better of you. Considering that we're both in the same line of work I would have thought that at least you'd get your facts straight before you chimed in.

As for being "pissy", that's probably the last word anyone who knows me would use to describe my attitude. The Play Station raid had zero effect me personally or professionally, but some people I know really suffered as a result of it. And I'd rather not see the club where I play these days come under scrutiny because of excessive publicity about the "NYC poker scene" either here or in the press.
