Cassidaddy 0 Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 This was a $25 tourney. All good friends except the 2 undercover informants sent in a couple of weeks ago. Regular game thats been going for over 5 years. OK so there were roughly 30 people playing, but the group is quiet, respectful of the neighbors, and generally good natured. I remember the PPA/Poker pro indignation over a similar thing in South Carolina. How about some outrage this time as well.SAVE OUR HOME GAMES!!

AmScray 355 Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Las Cruces is a ****ing dump. I wouldn't care if they arrested everyone in that shithole of a town and sent them all to the goddamn electric chair. Link to post Share on other sites

AmScray 355 Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Thanks for the support AmScray... let me know the next time you're headed out this way...The only time I'll go anywhere near Las Cruces ever again is in the event I magically become a commercial airline pilot and find myself with an overflowing septic system that needs evacuating whilst in mid-air. In that case, destination: Las Cruces, New Mexico.(only imagine that wasn't contrails, but instead, was a fine mist of excrement being sprayed all over your lovely city. God, what a sty that town is... Seriously; please, let the mensuraters who think I'm being "mean" self-categorize themselves as people who have visited Las Cruces and people who have not visited Las Cruces ) Link to post Share on other sites
dapokerbum 0 Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 First of all don't take anything Amscray says to heart. The guy is a blatant dick and that's just how it is, however he does have a ton a comedic value so you can't be too hard on him. It's really a tough road ... I mean I want to punch him in the nutsack everytime I see one of his stupid racist comments, but then I want to hug it out after i see such awesomeness such as the DN Edog MS Paint murals...AAAAAAAAAAAAnyway, were they charging any kind of hidden rake in the game? Even if it is a small percentage it immediately makes it an illegal game. Link to post Share on other sites
StrippersNBlow 0 Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 If anyone ever tells me they're from Las Cruces in my lifetime, I'm going to have to laugh. Then run to the bathroom. Link to post Share on other sites
UncleHoot 0 Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Ok, were they otherwise making money off the game? Rake? If so, it's generally illegal.If it's just a bunch of guys that get together, and the only ones making money were the players, then it's a completely different story. We dont' know.

four10 lkc 0 Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 As far as I know as long as there is no fee or rake to play, it shouldn't be illegal? but maybe I am wrong. Link to post Share on other sites
