My god do I have a pit in my stomach right now. I was at the Players Club when it was raided and I was at 61st St when it was robbed. After that gun was aimed at my head at 61st St I swore off underground rooms forever. I cannot believe any of you still play at these places. AC, Foxwoods, internet and home games is all I do now. I cannot believe a life was lost tonight. I probably know who it was if he played at Playstation.

I am so sick right now.

I used to play at Mayfair and feel the same way. Stick to places that don't get robbed, taking your life in your hands is foolish, really really not worth it.

From now on, expect more and more clubs to get robbed as stories like this hit the media.

I think the family knows. The local hometown press is reporting his identity:

I was there until 2 hours before it happened. Beautiful clean place, around 3/4 of the tables were full.

of course not, once its in the news then anything discussed within the article is fair game. Just don't discuss details not in the articles because it might hurt other businesses/players by accident.
