Authorities Crack Down on NYC Poker Clubs - Yahoo! News
Authorities Crack Down on NYC Poker Clubs - Yahoo! News
What a shame... And I used to play poker at Playstation regularly. This club closing is old news, but it still saddens me. A-Rod even played there one night with his cousin. He sat at a 2-5 blind no-limit game, won a couple of grand and left.
The club was great, on the corner of 5th ave and 14th street on the second floor of some huge building. They had a camera outside and ask your name as they stared at you through the len before they would let you through the buzzing doors. ( and only then if you were a member, of course).
Inside, it was well lit with free drinks and snacks. They had about 10-12 tables in the place, a big screen TV and other smaller ones hanging from the walls. I played no-limit holdem, 4-8, and 10-20 there often when I was staffed in the city. The place was a fun place to go. The staff was great. I have a friend who won 5gs there one night. They even ran daily tournaments.
Anyway, enough reminiscing for now...
