Family Dilemma

[KaciBlakely]

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....

Okay playing in this bar is perfectly legal.

What goes on is, bars, in the state of Texas are allowed to play poker/have a poker game for a prize.

Said prize is just cash at this place. And is legal so the only thing that the problem is my sister.

I understand and want to give her the job but the owner wants me to deal also, just in case someone comes in, which makes no sense to me what-so-ever.

And the poker area is a no smoking section.

I've dealt before and wouldn't worry about that part of it.

I'm just not good with conflict is the problem but I think I know what I am going to do now, so thanks guys.

I'll update you guys with my decision tomorrow.

This dosent look like a big dilema...
But I think she should just go there and work for than...
They wonnt do anything against her...
At my country poker still ilegal...
thats very bad.. since I would love to play live games...

Tell you sis to get a job that doesnt require her to be 21....

[KaciBlakely]

That's what I've been telling her but it's solved now.

I called the owner and I'm going to deal and she can deal sometimes too.

And I'll split the money with her whatever we make.

She's filled out plenty of applications so hopefully she gets hired and it won't be an issue as she'll have to work on Wednesday nights.

Well we can hope at least.

YAY SOLUTIONS!

And who wouldve thought that texas would have a law that is different from every other continental state in the union

Every bar where im from would probably get fined, maybe even lose their license. Guess everything is bigger and better in Texas :-p

Well just think about it for a second- our last President was Governor of Texas for a while, and he thought he could do whatever the hell he wanted, not only with this country, but with the rest of the world, so draw your conclusions from that, lol.

[KaciBlakely]

Tay you have a point.

But yeah it's solved so thanks for everyone that had input on this thread.

I really do appreciate my NDN family.

Well it's Texas Holdem isn't it?>

i thought you werent allowed to smoke inside public places anyways in texas anymore. i might be wrong but you should hvae to worry about the smoke.

[KaciBlakely]

You can't smoke in this poker room.

And in Texas you can still smoke.

Just in certain places in some of the major cities you can't.

This bar is in a smaller city where you can smoke in it, but you can not smoke in the poker room of the actual bar, so I'll be fine.

Thanks for worrying about me though.
