Dallas Police Take Down a Small Pot

Poker bust last night at the Slick Billiards at 2344 Oates Dr.

I don\’t know the details of this game — it was clearly more drunken low-stakes \”home game\” than sophisticated poker operation. Police arrested one person for Gambling Promotion (class A misdemeanor) and issued tickets to 11 others for Gambling (class C misdemeanor).

They also arrested three people for Public Intoxication. Cops confiscated one table, assorted \”gambling paraphernalia,\” and $1,437 in cash. It took an undercover operation (in response to a citizen complaint, police say) to take this game down.

Pokerati would also like to take this opportunity to remind all our pokery attorney friends that we happily accept advertising from law firms interested in representing players. It\’s a great deal — should cost you less than a few billable hours — and it seems there may be a growing need for your services.
