New Smyrna Beach police are desperately trying to find two masked men responsible for a fatal home invasion at a house known for gambling.

They can't be that hard to find. They are wearing masks for god's sake.

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.

"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.

Thought: If a poker game was robbed and a player was killed, it is a fair assumption that they were playing for more than $10 per hand..?

It's a good thing the police are going to make sure those criminal card players get what's coming to them. I wouldn't even bother going after the thief/murderer the ones running the card game probably deserved it.

dude it says 10 dollar ante which means everyone has to put that amount in the pot no matter what, so 10 x 10 = 100 and probably 20-40 or 25-50 blinds imo

definitely tragic but who the hell paints cards on their driveway? they might as well have left a cookie-crumb trail of franklin's leading to the poker game from the neighborhood's nearest liquor store...

I see that now. However, it seems weird calling 25/50 a "penny game"..?
