lubbock sports bar tournament happens!

This is great. Jake's sports bar in Lubbock, TX, which I previously wrote about finally held their poker tournament. This time the DA didn't touch it -- because they didn't charge an entry fee. They offered a $125 first prize, zero entry fee, and got 60 players.

"Are you allowed to bet on the side?," NewsChannel 11 asked one player. "No, there's no side bets, they said absolutely no cash on the table or no talking of cash or anything like that, so, the DA would definitely shut 'em down, I heard," said player Gabe Hogan.

Expect to see a lot more setups like this happen around the US in states where no-money poker is legal. There are already a bunch of free-entry tournaments in Austin bars and restaurants. If each player generates a few bucks of revenue for the venue, it's a positive expectation proposition.

Update: Todd says: "There would have been more there but seating was limited to the first 60 to sign up starting at noon the day of the game!" Thanks Todd. It sounds like the interest out there is overwhelming!

Care to give some pointers to these games?

I often wonder about the number of games that came alive post-WPT and Chris Moneymaker. I know just here in Pittsburgh, which is a small city compared to most, I could find a game just about every night of the week (from 3-6 to 10-20 to weekend tournaments with $100-plus buy-ins that are advertised on flyers as fund-raisers and attract close to 100 people a pop). I even have played in games that I found through the Internet.

So far, the law has stayed away from the games, but then again, Pittsburgh is a city gone broke, and can't even afford to open all of its swimming pools this summer. So why would they go after these games.

Some of the games are filled with solid players, but most were made of calling stations and flopmonsters (people who have to see the flop, no matter the cards), which can get frustrating. But with all the games, tight players can afford to be patient. It's a good scene.

I'd like to get a feel for games all around the country, so please chime in.
