Need some help starting up a poker room

[FireStorm]

I would give a specific response, but your comment has less then zero to do with my origianl post. I'm sure you do get tons of requests daily from people seeking info, and I'm sure you have talked to law enforcement personnel. No one is denying this. However, as was stated clearly in plain, articulate English above, every other poker forum gets the same requests. And, if police are indeed searching here for undergorund game info, they're doing it elsewhere too. To say that people know 2p2 is the "place to go" is idiotic. Is the volume higher here? Probably. However, any number of other websites have the same issue, perhaps Dorothy and Toto could fill you in on this when you come this side of the yellow brick road.

In before lock and ban, please tell me this is another of Tworooks' accounts. Dont do this, its illegal and can get you a bunch of time in jail.

If you're gonna try to start an underground club, perhaps you should have experience playing in them.

I was fortunate enough to have not yet been on the receiving end of a police raid, but getting robbed... that's another story.

Judas betrayed Jesus for 30 pieces of Silver. Do you really think a few thugs wouldn't jump at the opportunity to boost the bankroll of a lively $1/$2 NL game? "Only a few thousand." Anyone willing to knock off the game would gladly do it to score $100, and jump at the chance to do it for >$1K.

Do you honestly believe deep down in your heart that the game will only go for five hours at a time?

Again, if you're seriously thinking about doing this, spend a lot more time at some underground games and get yourself an idea of what some people are doing right (and what some are doing terribly wrong.)

And don't tell your mother, she won't understand.

nothing [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] We wont lock this thread. The policy on underground games has always been only the owner of the card room and discuss his or her business, if the OP wants to take that risk than so be it.

Interesting- I'd assumed 2+2 policy prohibited this.

Guess I won't reply as I was planning to.

I should correct my prior statement, we allow any verified member of management of the underground club to determine if discussion is allowed on 2+2, RR or myself personally verify who the management are to assure the players safety. The players and staff rely on the management to protect their interests, therefore we let them make the decisions themselves.

We have allowed discussion so far (from what i can recall) a Texas room, a Maryland room, and one NYC room which changed its mind and asked its post to be deleted. Oddly enough that NYC room was managed by Edgar, the only operator which has been openly discussed on 2+2 since he was all over the press after he was busted.

I'm grateful for the playing time and experience received at a room such as this. It's easy when you live close to legal live games to tell people not to do it. I'm just grateful others have so I can enjoy it. Like I said before, I now travel further to play in a casino and am nolonger active in my local clubs but I could walk in anyday and play and that sure is nice to know.

I would also note that the strongest play I've ever encountered on a regular basis is in one particular club. The casino is much easier. That is one of the large reasons I play in a casino now along with a desire to player in a game that's run strictly by the rules.
