Just heartbreaking. My biggest fear as a host.

The article said it wasn't the first time that there was an attempted robbery at that home during a poker game. Makes me wonder... is this a "home" game or an "underground" game.

Seems like there is more going on there than poker reading between the lines.

Well I guess I shouldn't find home games in this area

Weekly poker games with an unsavory group of people. I think they released a picture of the suspects too

It also reminded me of Jackie junior robbing the executive game:

While this totally seems like an underground game, I wonder if incidents like this one push folks more towards using an app like venmo or paypal to bank their home games. While sure, the crooks can always lift your phones, to me it seems like a much less juicy target if there isn't thousands of dollars in cash in one place.

It's all in the game, though, right?

"In 2010, two teens robbed a poker game in that home using knives and a pellet gun, but were quickly apprehended."

Invest is some cameras, man!

So it's an inside job, right? Because how else would the robbers know to hit that particular house? They either lost a bunch of money or got a tip from some disgruntled player who lost a lot.
