This is exactly what concerns me; people on 2+2 may be able to see right through the facade, but there are recs in Houston out that are seeing this and thinking, "$600K? Sign me up!"

I say that they are illegal because they are. Paying the house in any way to play poker in Texas is illegal, as previously mentioned multiple times in this thread. Just because there are many rooms in Texas with this model doesn't mean it's legal. There are way more rooms around that just take a rake for their profit, just like the casino does, and they're still open for business.
