Yeah, I think it's pretty clear that anyone who doesn't collect a rake is in no danger of being arrested for hosting a home game.

Default Inflated News

That could very well be true, Media will blow things up as will the police in order to justify this raid, if in fact it was social with two tables then <font color="red">"SHAME ON THE POLICE </font> , my comments were based on the article. Should have thought it could be inflated. According to the article, this happened everyday, is this also inflated?

Anyone know the consequences to the players at the house??

the article indicated that the participants were charged with misdemeanor participation in gambling. My guess is that they'll pressure some players to fink on the hosts.

If your running a casino in your house, where its illegal, you shouldnt complain about being busted. 15 tables, pulling a rake? Thats not some friends getting together to have some fun. I've played in some larger tourneys here in Raleigh, NC (I have one this weekend), but these have no rake. Nor do our larger cash games, though we have had a few Gs on the table several times.

For those of you living in NC check this one out

Noelle Talley of the North Carolina Attorney General's Office said that it would be up to local district attorneys to prosecute online poker players.

In the past, larger games that involved high stakes and criminal activity have been shut down, but having the guys from work over for a round of cards is not on law enforcement radar screens, said Colon Willoughby, North Carolina's Wake County district attorney.

I happen to know that the DA, Willoughby, host games himself, with a fair amount of cash on the table. So, find out what the local veiws are before publicizing anything above the nickel &amp; dime game.

The Centreville game had 2 tables and games were hosted 3 nights a week. It was not a casino, just a bunch of people who like to play poker.
