Texas Holdem!!! Legal in Texas???


I couldn't believe it. At work today, a fellow coworker mentioned something about a bill trying to be passed by legislation....about poker! As soon as a heard the word, I quickly whipped my head around and listened. He didn't know to many details about the possible new law, but he did mention that the article was on Austin's fox news website. So today I decided to check it out. And its true.......!! The NPPA (National Poker Players Alliance) are trying to make hold em legal in Texas. This would mean legal betting establishments or bars with legal cash games running. My question still stands, why not any Texas Casinos? Good for the state right? I'm happy to see this bill is being proposed, its about dang time. Below is the link for the article on fox...check it out, its pretty good stuff.

As for the weekend, pretty good, or as most would say, pretty lucky weekend for me ; ) I haven't even moneyed at Mondo's when there's been bounties, heck I haven't even moneyed period at Mondo's this season.........BUT.....I finally broke the streak with a win at the Mookie's pokerroom. 225 dollar take home, nice, but had to apply it all towards bills because of my New Mexico trip setting me back two weeks ago. Then, on Saturday I played in a cash game with some coworkers, .50/1 no limit hold em minimum buy-in of 40 bucks, made an extra 90, so took home about 130. I guess this coming week its time for me to go broke.........LUCKY, LUCKY, LUCKY ME. Fun weekend, even better reading this article today.

Have a wonderful week everybody!!!
