Heard Trip kings closed last week. Can anyone confirm?

The local player that called himself 'Big' shot himself last night. Since it appears that he was a complete scumbag, I don't think I'm out of line saying that I'm glad this waste of sperm and eggs is no longer alive. I had a very negative experience with him that was gambling related that some of you may know about. Hopefully the girls that were violated by this piece of $hit can straighten their lives out.

The part of that where I mention that neither player likely knew about the incorrect deck is probably not true from what I know now. Apparently in 'tonk', the game he wanted to play, knowing missing cards is a big advantage. I've come to the conclusion that he knew the deck was bad and was freerolling me.

"White, who spent three years in prison on prostitution charges, was dubbed a “gorilla pimp” by authorities because of his extremely violent behavior towards his victims. Though one of them was brave enough to come forward to Southfield police and report White. The victim told cops that White would let her visit family every few weeks, but left her with a very strong message: If you do not come back, I will kill you and your family."

According to their UMich page, yes, they are closed. Well I guess it's good I moved out of that area now, there aren't any rooms left over there.

Wow, we could almost start a who's next board. I know nothing about laying odds, but it would be an interesting exercise.

I mean anything can happen: like a fire. But I would guess that Four Aces is probably the last to go, maybe closely followed by Big Beaver and Northville Downs?

By the way, did you guys see Four Aces is going to try $100 Saturday tournament 5/18? Competing with HPT, but I'm glad they finally took the leap to the bigger buy-ins.

Four Aces has done a really good job in trying to improve their room imo. I give Guy a lot of credit for wanting to make his room better.

Oh yeah, forgot about NVD. So I guess there is still one room near the old stomping grounds. Not a big fan of the room but I did like that 6-max tourney on Mondays. I hope they stick around and especially hope BBT is around for a while since that is now the closest room to me. Still kinda bummed that Snookers closed a month after I moved within range of playing there. I think I got 3 or 4 tourneys in before they shut down.

Whoa, I had no idea. It was a pretty nice room but the traffic was terrible. It looks like NVD is the last standing room in that area.

With Dollar King closing that makes the next closest charity room from the Toledo border probably QoH in Woodhaven which is quite a ways into the state.

I don't live near a place like Cabela's but that seems like an untapped area to put a charity poker room if someone could open or transfer a license to there.
