What a tragedy. It could have been any of us- that is indeed a scary thought.

It's also an eye-opener to the realities of the world we live in. It's disgusting what some people are willing to do for money. I must say, I feel like I have had a false sense of security over the past years, playing in these NYC clubs. I don't think i am going to continue playing after this incident, as its just not worth the risk (for me anyway). Atlantic city will just have to do.

Agreed, the incident is both sad and scary. It's shocking what people would do for only a couple of thousand dollars. The only positive that can come out of this is a serious push towards legalization, which would surely quell such occurrences.

Unfortunately this will have the opposite effect. "Look what gambling and that horrible poker caused..."

Difficult news for anyone that's ever played poker in NYC. I can't say I know the victim but my thoughts are with his friends and family today.

Can anyone give a loose description of the physical security? Does the space have the two secure door setup on the 7th floor? Since the news gave the address, I presume this is an acceptable topic.

Just don't discuss details not in the articles because it might hurt other businesses/players by accident.

We can't discuss such thing in threads, PM me if you want detaiils.

He was a real nice guy and we played together on many occasions. Needless to say my NYC poker will now be limited by private games. It's one thing to be there for a raid. There are enough games around to have fun in a safe, friendly environment. Hopefully the cops will catch these guys.

WOW...this sucks hardcore. Robberies like this are just unecessary...I really hope they catch the guys.

Wow that the NY Post found out how much was there since the NY Police have not released the amount that was found at the club when they arrived. Wow that somebody still hasn't learned to keep their mouths shut, robberies happen because dollar amounts like this is publicized.
