Mesmerized by Grasshopp3r's avatar.... mmm bad girl.

I attended a game similar to the one described just over a year ago with my hombre kdog. Same setup (double doors, cameras, had to call ahead first, complimentary beer and food - no liquor license of course) but I did not feel safe there. The place I went to had no cash on hand - patrons bought chips from the house and the house raked each pot, but the banker only held the buyins. So basically the total cash on hand was equal to the chips in play.

Three young Greek guys ran the game I played at. They claimed to be "connected." The game was great - lots of bad players - but the place didn't feel right. We left early that night (like 11:00) to find a cruiser out front parked behind the line of patrons' cars. Never went back to that game.

I told kdog that though it was exciting to check the place out, Foxwoods is only an hour away. Why take unnecessary risks, especially if you're playing that high.
