Pretty much all significant Long Island clubs raided wednesday night

Suffolk County authorities shut down a slew of underground Texas Hold 'em poker games Wednesday night, Suffolk County District Attorney Thomas Spota's office said Thursday.

Nine people were arrested, and authorities seized joker poker machines, gambling tables and more than $10,000 in cash, prosecutors said.

The poker parlors were in Lindenhurst, Wyandanch, Farmingdale, Farmingville, Holbrook, Deer Park and Bohemia.

im sure the police have known about these places so I can only speculate that last weeks shooting had something to do with this

the small amount of people arrested and cash seized seems odd newday article

[*TT*]

there was another thread about this last night after the raids occurred. Somehow its gone this morning. Thats odd.

If your thread should be deleted it wouldn't be here right now LDO [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] The thread last night had no problems with it with the exception of one statement which was edited because it contained just a tiny bit too much info. I wish I knew where it went [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] Thanks for posting this!

TT - I'm pretty sure you're referring to the post I made in the NYC thread.

k cool...that is annoying because i would have like to read it...when i found out the place i go to was hit was like damn but didnt hear that all of them were hit til this morning...at least no dealers were arrested but still sucks...these games were so soft you could make a living off 1/2 which usually playing $500+ deep where i would play...anyway yea no need for everyone to repost what they did last night but if anyone can pm me and fill me in please do or feel free to repost here

EWS87 - you already know everything that was posted last night, no names until outed by the press, thats the standard rule around here. Mid-afternoon when they hold the press conference I would guess that all the details will be leaked. The newspaper claims 10k was taken from 9 rooms - combined, a lot smaller than the false NYC claims of 250k.

Durs522 was right, it was in the NYC thread, it was so late when it was posted and I was tired - I must have thought it was in its own thread.

I think you were distracted by pictures of young AZN boys dancing.

$500 bounty on the robbers.

NY Times called me today to wrap up their story which will run tomorrow. The reporter didn't know about the LI robberies, while I was on the phone he turned to the guy from Newsday who was standing next to him. As he pointed out the two events are likely only correlated by the heightened awareness of "risk", NYC and Suffolk County police (and Suffolk/Nassau Police) departments usually do not cooperate with one another on cases such as this.
