Well, a semi-public message sent out by one of the clubs today begins: "Due to greed in the poker community the [NAME OF CLUB] became the target of continuous raids."

Anyone care to explain the meaning of that sentence? Are we being told that the principals of certain establishments are using the police as a weapon against other establishments?

Wow, pretty scummy if so.

Very scummy, and very true. This has been happening for years. It might not be cool for me to say this, if I am wrong I appologize in advance.

As a side note, I dont know a single owner/operator that wants poker to be legalized in NY State - its bad for business. DUCY?

it's pretty clear why a small underground owner wouldn't want poker to be legalized. all the underground owners would be muscled out by big corporations if cardrooms became legal.
