nyc bust
 

Hi, longtime reader here...

Just a heads up that a certain midtown east poker club was raided yesterday (Friday). I showed up to hear the bad news last night.
Everyone might want to be cautious and take the weekend off from other clubs in case the busts are coming in a bunch. I hope not, and I don't mean to scare anyone if this is just an isolated incident.

BTW, the bouncers outside said that this time, the card room's shut down for good. who knows..

Mod note: There is nothing wrong with this OP, but I am locking the thread because I will be away and *TT* is away and I have had to delete many replies to it that were not acceptable. -RR

UPDATE:

The room was called Straddle. Straddle no longer exists, they were officially evicted last week. There has been an evection proceeding in the works for some time now, it finally took place. Word on the street is they have no plans to reopen at this time due to the legal environment, of course if they do reopen somewhere else you won't hear about it here for security reasons but at this point you just witnessed the end of the Straddle era.
