Kinda of a side note here, but I was a member of a private poker club back in Indianapolis. Paid membership dues, had to show membership card in order to enter. could not join unless someone invited you, paid dealers, professional tables and space. Very nice place to play. <br />
<br />
We believed we were legal because of a loophole in local law. I believed it because there were several police officers that would play. Usually in uniform.<br />
<br />
I was a member for about 4 years and played about 4 nights per weeks. Made a lot of money there.<br />
<br />
One night I was on my way to play but was pretty sick and getting worse. I turned around and came back home . The next morning on the news I saw the place was raided.<br />
<br />
Whew! Dodged one there.<br />

</blockquote>Allen “cough cough I was ill” Crawley. He didn’t call the cops, honest.<br />
<br />
Our local poker club is quite dingy. People just give their name when they sign in. Everyone did a double take when I said my name. It’s such a shame I’m crap and can’t live up to my namesake. We even look a bit alike with dark hair and receding hairlines.<br />
