NYC clubs

Hey,
I've been surfing and seeing a club here and there on this board, but not ever a list. I know this is a newbie question, but are poker clubs in NYC legal? If so, can someone give me a short list of them, will be in the city soon.

thanks

I asked a similar question about a week or so back (not about legality but for a listing of clubs). The response was lackluster to say the least, but I heard about the following: NY Player's Club, Playstation, Galaxy, ...

Since these are all private clubs, do you need to do anything to join? Can you just show up tomorrow night and pay a membership fee and play?

Many thanks to anyone with info.

You need to be a member at a lot of them but for the NYC Players Club you can just walk right in, the games are good, and they have NL and tournys.

Not really. I only know of 1 where you can't just stroll in.

Dont you also have to be a member at the sister location of the aforementioned membership place?

I shouldn't have used the word "most" as I only have experience with 3 of them.

No. Thus the best way to discuss specifics would be through PM's, not posts on a public forum that anyone can read.

They're totally legal, and by "totally legal" I mean "totally illegal."

Perhaps. I've never been to the sister, although I hear she's hot.

No more illgal than sucking blood from the neck of the Statue of Liberty I'm sure.

Great info! Thanks.

I'll check out the Player's Club while in town.
