Family Dilemma

[KaciBlakely]

Well see we found out and what happens at this bar that it's a prize but the prize is one hundred bucks cash.

It's legal because it's a freeroll.

The part that gets tricky is the fact that he wants to add a cash game.

Yes cash ring games would be tricky hmmm..... He is gonna have to keep this game hush hush in the back rooms or something. set it up to where you exchange you cash for chips, then cash out your chips for cash at the end of the game, that way if it is busted yall can just say hey we are playing a friendly regular game, dont even mention cash.thats my verdict

[KaciBlakely]

That's a great idea.

I think that's how he's going to do it anyways, but the trick is to keep it hush hush because some people have some big mouths.

you know how that goes right?

Well thanks for letting us try and help you. I'm glad that you trust us with your family issues. It does seem like a sticky situation because you don't want to upset anything that's going on in the family or anything at home period. You are a good brother for caring this much. I wish I had a brother like you.. Anyways..

I think that you should talk to your sister about it and see how she feels about you working at the same place as a dealer, like her, but legally. This economy really isn't helping anyone that I know and I think that if you can get paid for dealing and make some extra money, then its fine you know?

I would just really talk to your sister and make sure that she doesn't get into any kind of trouble if she works there because no one likes fines! It may not happen, but its a possibility and you should look out for your sister. I would think it would be more than a fine, because its gambling right? You would think that you could be put in jail for something like that. But I hope that doesn't happen!

Keep being an awesome brother and just talk it over with your family. And again, thank you for trusting us with your family issues. I hope it works out okay, and be sure to let us know what happens!

I hope I was helpful

Maybe looki into getting sponsored by a local charity or something. Its how a lot of places get by those kinda laws, and illegalities; they just partner up with a charitable organization, which allows them to play poker as well as other things. Just so long as the charity gets a predetermined percentage of the house take or whatever. Hotels, bars, bingo hall; all of them have been springing up with poker because of this stiuplation or whatever thats placed on it. If you run it though a registered charity and give i believe 20% of the cut to them, it wont be legal to play real money poker. Hope that helps, definately something to look into.

Now, what should REALLY be done is quite simple, buy protection from the mafia. Im not sure where it is that yo live, but i assure you the mafia is there. Go to your local canoli store, and pick out the oldest, meanest lookin WOP u can find, and ask for a favor. If youre lucky, it will be the day of his daughters wedding, and hell have to do it for you.

Those are the two best ideas i got for you, ranking in descending order :-p

I'm a girl just to let you know hun.

Sorry but all I had to do was replace brother with sister and I get the feeling all the same.

Your sister will understand in time that it has nothing to do with her.
Tell the truth and do what is right for you.

Plain and simple, what the bar is doing is illegal, that's why they are keeping it quiet. Cash can never be paid out period. They risk losing their liquor license and everyone else takes the risk of being arrested. All staff, including poker dealer would be arrested on the spot. All it would take is one raid and many people would go down with the ship. The only clubs that can pay cash is private clubs like the American Legion, the Elks, etc. Thats why their drinks are so cheap because you have to be a member to drink or play there. They have a private club liquor license. If I remember correctly, you are the one who is pregnant...picture this in the paper...pregnant poker dealer arrested at local bar...please be careful, don't let this happen to you. As far as your sister, she's not old enough period. There is no sense in screwing up your life for something that doesn't have to happen. Just something to think about....
