  1. I think we are headed towards an appeal by at least one of the Defendants to challenge whether the poker rooms are wrong or right in their interpretation of the law. I practically guarantee it. Then we can see if this shit holds up or not. I imagine that San Antonio and Austin proceeds from their poker rooms will contribute to the legal defense.
  2. I actually think this may have been the best way for someone to challenge the legality. I don't do criminal law just a civil litigator, but if they go after money laundering there and that requires knowingly moving proceeds from illegal activity then the underlying law comes into play.
  3. RIP Poker in Houston.
  4. Friend on Facebook posted that Mint just got raided. Have it on good authority no raid on Lions as of yet. Guy on Facebook may be wrong. He's a nut job and Mint officially closed out of precaution until tomorrow at 4pm per the legislative group.
  5. **2:14pm - We're now getting conflicting reports about players being able to take their chips from Prime Social. It does appear that one of their GM's were in cuffs at one point, but it's unclear if he was actually arrested. It seems the players were told they are just witnesses, which is why their photographs were taken. **2:28 - From ABC13: "Houston police are on the scene at one of Houston's most popular poker rooms. Police have been seen taking computers and electronic equipment out of the Prime Social Poker Club in the 7800 block of Westheimer. Police would only say there is an ongoing investigation." <See link in comments.> **2:47 - Prime Social just posted the following: "We apologize for any inconvenience. Prime Social is currently closed until further notice. We appreciate each and everyone of you and will keep you updated." <See link in comments> **2:52pm - We've just spoken to a representative from Mint Poker who said they are closing for the day "Out of Caution," and will tentatively reopen tomorrow at 4pm. **2:56pm - Click2Houston now reporting... <See link in comments> **2:58pm - ABC13's Marla Carter just tweeted a short video of electronic equipment being seized outside of Prime Social. <See link in comments> **3:00pm - Tweeted by KHOU's Adam Bennet: "UPDATE from @HarrisCountyDAO: 2 poker clubs raided (Prime Social and Post Oak), 9 owner-operators charged w/money laundering, a 1st degree felony. Clubs' bank accounts frozen and face being seized. Result of 2-year investigation by DA's office & @houstonpolice ." <See link in comments>

  7. Lions not raided, but Post Oak was definitely hit as well.
  8. Free to Compete Texas - a Facebook Organization related to the Poker Card Rooms and their attempts to get things licensed. FYI - A group of people testified in front of a committee related to licensing these rooms just yesterday.
  9. **Breaking News Out of Houston** We're getting reports that Prime Social Poker Club, one of the largest clubs in the state, has been raided by law enforcement. This is obviously very troubling news just 24 hours after Rep. Guillen's HB2669 was heard in a Texas House committee, however, we want to encourage everyone in the community to withhold judgment until more information becomes available. Remember folks, you are innocent until proven guilty in this country. If you have confirmed any additional information that we haven't covered already, please message the page or comment below. We'll continue to do our best to keep everyone updated as this situation develops. **While we're not sure if this has anything to do with the timing, it's at least interesting to note that Prime Social had been advertising a $150,000 GTD No-Limit Hold'em tournament that was scheduled to begin today at 12pm. **12:57pm - We're now hearing reports that an additional Houston-area club has been raided. Waiting for confirmation. **1:04pm - According to multiple sources, it appears Post Oak Poker Club was also raided. Stay safe if you plan to play poker in the Houston-area today! **1:14pm - According to someone who has spoken with both dealers and players at Prime Social, law enforcement took pictures of all the players but did not make any arrests. Everyone was allowed to take their chips home with them to eventually cash them out at a later date.
  10. They were getting too big for their own britches and there were too many being opened everywhere. Someone was going to challenge their legality eventually.
  11. Prime, Post Oak, and Lions thus far.
  12. I've heard that 9 clubs got raided .
  13. Anastasis - if we concede that the Dossier may contain Russian disinformation, will you concede that the FISA Court (along with all intelligence agencies supplying information) would always consider the fact that Russians like disinformation and would have taken that all into account?
  14. Huge amount of heart shown by the Rockets there. They were on fire to start the Third, but every time they got it to single digits, KD would take their soul. Then GS ran it up to 15 and there is no reason this game should be at 7 points entering the Fourth quarter.
  15. It's not like they would be outrebounded worse than they have the last two games. He probably takes a few three point shots and converts them to two point plays which Houston could use.
  16. Run it Back.....again....without Durant next time?
  17. Honestly, KD is unbelievable. I mean Steph and Draymond get to be gigantic bitches while KD carries the team.
  18. Spear missed from what I could tell. Still had a billion wights climb on though.
  19. And the one Bran gave her right in front of that tree.
  20. Poor Derka - nothing can satisfy him.
  21. Christ. Refs legit flipped the switch when it was tied.
  22. Scores tied. Time for some bullshit going Warriors way.
  23. I'll take three quarters of one way calls if all the calls in the fourth come Houston's way (and it seems like they are so far....)
  24. Four point game despite all the misses and jackassery. Now win this bitch.
