Maybe it is the worry of being shutdown all of a sudden.
It’s a win-win for Doug and co and the old owners and a loss for TCH and other local clubs. That’s the consensus of players based on what I’ve heard.
Lodge owners have been confident that there’s no imminent threat of shutdown. That’s why they’ve told their members and I’m confident in that assessment of the legal situation. Texas poker faced its biggest threat a few years back after the Houston raids. With that behind us, it seems like it’ll be smooth sailing for the time being. Local officials are already operating with inefficiency due to the pandemic and law enforcement has enough on their hands due to the crime surge. Why would any officials waste their time trying to stamp out local poker rooms that are small peanuts to them,
