They just approved online sports betting so it seems like we have hope that a legal poker room will be here soon!Ĭheck out the discussion in the Venues & Communities forum, but the moratorium on downstate casinos ends in 2023 but the Governor has already made it clear she's pushing to expedite the process, my guess is this year is too optimistic, but Resorts World and Empire getting table games and poker rooms next year isn't out of the question. Hopefully table games will be opened at aqueduct and Yonkers, once they are approved poker will be available without having to drive 3 hours. To play in a NYC underground poker is just not a good idea. It just sucks that the only way to find a game now is to drive to foxwoods or parx/Atlantic city. I'm not sure how long it was until they state was upgraded to allow table games and poker. When Philadelphia had begun to legalize casinos, they started exactly like NYC. The bottom line is, poker is coming soon. Oh and I get back to the Camry and there’s like the most disgusting puke or rotten food all over the side door. I go back and punt 500’in 1-2nl and get paid. I cash out north of 9k and the host gives me my money back and says to come back tomorrow for the rest. I end up running the table over it gets to be like 9-10am and I’m like so what’s the deal here I got to go to work. I flip the host my keys cuz honestly who gives a *** at this point. I couldn’t tell you a single hand I had or flop from that night but all I remember it was all of a sudden 7-8am and they ask me to move my car. I find myself on the sheet and way in over my head. Īnyways my buddy who came with me leaves and we had been knocking back a couple rails in the smoke room along w maximizing our ev in the smoke room on other things.

It was probably just the amount of outstanding credit that he could balance the game and pay out the proper people who needed to be paid out at the end of the night. I only remember the number bc it was so random. I had never been to this game before and decide to go for the boldest move ever and somehow convince the host to give me 1600 on credit. I go in and fire 500 at 1-2 then decide to sit in the 5-5o plo game and fairly quickly dusted off my roll. One night before the wife and kids I find myself in the city w my Toyota Camry casino car and about $3500 cash in the door or my entire liquid bankroll at the time.

My best one night story of underground poker in NYC: Then a bunch of smaller rooms kept popping up… The action was always so good at straddle I never left except to go to Fairview. I never went to PlayStation despite knowing of it…
