It’s like I told my buddy at the last game. He said to me, “bro, I don’t care if we were playing with plastic cheap chips.” to which I responded, “when you come and play here, you’re not just playing poker, you’re experiencing poker.”

Does this count? One night a bunch of us played at my house after golfing, and the group included a bunch of guys we don’t normally play with. We were going strong at about 3:30 am when my doorbell rang. Dog goes crazy. Wife wakes up, kids wake up. I run upstairs to answer the door and am greeted by a friendly police officer. “Is Billy Chang in your house.” I reply, “Uh, yes, I’ll go get him.” I go downstairs to get Billy, who I don’t know very well. He goes and talks to the friendly officers. Apparently, his girlfriend reported him as missing because his phone had died earlier in the day. WTF???Has anyone on here had their game busted by the cops?

Damn that's intense. It would be awful if some guy ratted out a game and all your shit gets confiscated.Nope, but my old poker room have been burgled twice.
Second time the door was open and a card on the poker table, "Police department blah blah blah , please call us back on xxxx regarding our intervention" so I said to myself, i'm f*cked...
But it was to tell me that they where called because there was a robbery in the building, my door was opened and they invite me to report if something went missing to add to the case.
Holy shit. Billy's phone dies and the cops get called. Trust issues.Does this count?

So much for the game at that point. Poker was done. And my wife wants to know what criminals I’ve got in our house.
Needless to say, Billy was not invited back.

Well aware. As I'm sure many here are. I knew what I was asking when I did this. I have edited the OP a bit though if my asking this is taboo.
I live in Georgia. It's illegal even if you don't rake. Georgia is about as anti-poker as it gets.Not taboo, but I don't know what you know. I do know that there will be new people reading the thread, so I just wanted to make sure it was in the thread.

Lol! My wife and discuss different states to retire to (still have about 20 years) and one of my criteria is that wherever we go has a casino or some kind of poker network I can find beforehand.
Being snow birds, wintering in FL may be the best option.
If you are ever in the Seattle area, you have an open invitation to come to my home game.I mainly play online and in casinos/card rooms, but when I do play home games, I much prefer to bring a nice bottle. I spend a great deal of thought into which bottle I’m bringing and why. I always try to bring bottles that are hard to find. $150 is my cap, although I get a lot of rare bottles close to or at MSRP rather than secondary prices so average is $100 id say.
There is a guy here who hosts who I’ve given some special bottles to in place of a cashout tip. Hakushu12, Blanton’s, EH Taylor single barrel, Yamazaki12, Little Book, HWAMWND, etc.
Come to think of it, I’d probably save money if I handed him A $50 bill every time rather than give him booze. But it’s more fun this way!

No state income tax in Florida.Take a look at MS. Cheaper than FL. They have lots of casinos, And they don't charge state tax on retirement income!
