I saw this posted on the other site by Meddler, and I think its worth posting over here. A cool idea to get some legal gambling in a state where that is not usually allowed. I wonder if this kind of thing would ever fly here in Ontario or anywhere else? The chips are pretty decent too.

They say they have done the math and their membership prices work out to be much lower than paying rake and tips for 1/1 and 1/2. Do you agree with this? Do you think a room like this would support lower stakes, .25/.50 or .50/1?

It looks like they have been up and running for over a month now, is it just a matter of time before they are raided and shut down, or have they found an actual legal way to go about this?

I live in Texas but not particularly close to Austin. I seem to recall something similar at some point in the past that was eventually closed by the authorities. I have no real knowledge of the law, so I can't comment from any knowledge, but this seems unlikely to fly to me....

The math looks good to me as long as you are a winner. If you're a loser that night though, you lose your buy-ins plus the fee. At a regular table, you never lose more than buy in for.

uh, no.... you lose that buy-in amount plus the house rake (hourly or per-pot) and any dealer tips you generously donate. In a club environment, those items (rake/tips) are instead paid for with your membership fee.

Yes but if you buy in for $200 and lose you are only losing $200 regardless of tips/rake. But there you are also losing the additional $25 (or whatever it is) membership fee.

Of course the answer is buy in for the amount minus the membership price.
