Apparently there was another poker robbery in Austin this week, in an apartment complex in South Austin on Tuesday night. I don't have any confirmed details other than that nobody was hurt.
If you are concerned about the safety of a game, my advice is simply to avoid it. There are enough games around that you can find a good, low-key one that meets your needs. By all means, stay the heck away from games that advertise prominently online or (worse) in bars and restaurants.
In other news, there was a bust of a poker operation in Brownsville, where a poker supply company was running games and taking a rake. The article says police estimated the place took down $5,000-$10,000 a night, yet also claims that the rake was $5 an hour and they only arrested 11 patrons so it doesn't exactly add up. It was the first poker bust in Brownsville history. Link
