Home Game Robbed, 1 Dead

There was a game robbed here where I live at a couple of months ago. Thankfully no one was hurt but they did go in with shotguns and one of the robbers started to freak out when his mask came off but the other guy with him was at least smart enough to tell the guy to calm down since they had the money. B/c of this I quit playing a my usual home game at the country club b/c they didn't offer any security at all. Just about every game will either get busted or robbed eventually when word gets out. And there have been a lot of both happening this year in NC.

Investigators said it's possible the homeowner could face charges, depending on how high the stakes were during Monday night's poker game.

"In Florida, you can have penny ante game up to $10 per hand and it's perfectly legal, so we're not sure how much they were gambling dollar-wise, but we're looking into that also," said Sgt. Michael Brouillette, New Smyrna Beach Police.

Good job guys, forget about the murder investigation, find out what stakes they where playing so you can get these dangerous poker players behind bars!

If you are going to host a home game where there is going to be this much cash atleast hire an armed private bodyguard so something like this doesn't happen.

Hiring an armed private bodyguard probably increases your chances of being robbed (by his friends) dramatically.

Not if you hire an actual protective agency - ex. Bodyguards for movie stars, ex-military etc. Or you could even hire Blackwater, although they would claim you shot at them and kill everyone.

i actually left a card game a few months ago 15 minutes before 3 masked guys kicked down the door and started pistol whipping people. they were caught and prosecuted harshly.. it was an inside job a regular payer set it up and was caught and punished too
