Re: Yet another NYC raid

Right now they are making it a priority to raid underground rooms.

no they aren't. None of the room operators I know believes that. Little known fact, Mayor Bloomberg is an avid poker player, he hosts an executive game on his boat in the Caribbean. So are countless cops, judges, etc. In fact I used to regularly play in an underground game that included a NYS Supreme Court judge, a producer for HBO who gave me secrets about upcoming Sunday night shows, and a drunken Irish pub operator who came to burn money. There is no great conspiracy, in fact if anything the anti-gambling people are pissed off that the cops look the other way for so long; they think there is a conspiracy to keep these rooms open!. Time to take the tinfoil hat off, lol.

At most, dealing running a room results in a misdemeanor.

Ever heard of organized crime? I have friends who have 6 month sentences going through the court system right now for operating and/or dealing, if the feds get involved they could use RICCO statutes (improperly of course but it could stick) and put these people away for a long time. Why do you think we have the policy that we have on 2+2? Its to help keep the players in NYC from hurting themselves.
