My only comment is about the chips. I would get them custom, like from homepokerchips.com. You do not want some cheap off the rack dice chip that anyone can get and bring into your game. And don't think it can't happen.

2K is not enough. 5K at minimum. Talk to some lawyers, preferably ones that have been prosecutes in your city and have connections. Put one on retainer, its not a matter of if, but when.

You also need to think about security. Cameras, reinforced doors, only buzz in people you know.

Poker games are easy targets for cops and criminals alike.
