Since TT asked for a separate thread to discuss the state of NYC poker rather than having that discussion in the shooting thread, here it is. I'll start off by asking: How is security handled at OTB parlors? When was the last time there was a robbery at an OTB?

Also lets discuss NY State Lottery. Its a game of chance, marketed to poor, destitute and undereducated NY'ers who have zero control over their destiny. Poker attracts educated and financially secure people - people who understand probability and wish to control their own destiny.
