  1. You are not wrong IMHO. About 2/3 of the rooms in town seem to rake nowadays. As a result, I only play in rooms that do not rake (TCH - Spring and Spades - Webster primarily) I think they all feel its ok following the Post Oak/Prime debacle of a raid by the DA's office, but I think that is dumb as fuck as a lawyer. And I say that as someone more nitty who likely benefits from a rake format as opposed to an hourly fee.
  2. I did when they opened. I clocked quite a few hours with some of their early promotions, but then I noticed a stink. First, the owner of the place left California for a myriad of reasons including losing his gaming license. Not a great start. Then, when you play there it seemed pretty obvious there were multiple house players. Several instances of what appeared to be pretty soft play with people they all seemed to know. They also repeatedly let tables get short so that they can have Poker Atlas show a large number of tables. In other words, keep six tables of six players instead of breaking one or two of those tables. Finally, the location is quite possibly one of the worst amongst Houston poker rooms from a security stand point and that was before the armed robbery attempts there. So yeah, decided after my hours ran that I was never going back and haven't regretted it since. Also, if you have a dealer like that in your game, he's throwing the good cards to a particular player so it should be easy to figure out who he is rigging the deck to benefit. No follow up with the player and the house's prior issues makes me think it's a house player.
  3. He entered the portal without us being in the loop. It's pretty clear it's been OU this entire time. If he wanted Texas, he could have reached out to our staff knowing who we had graduating and going into the draft. So yeah I think this one is known, but I hold out hope that the two poor schools can't deliver on their promises.
  4. I liked it better last week when we were getting everyone (2 Michigan DTs, UCLA and TCU player).
  5. Solid start then by Elko then to start to close that gap quickly.
  6. I guess that's why I post here.
  7. It was his dad's vehicle who called in after accident to report that it was involved. I suspect cop dad is smart enough not to admit who was driving. Police Report also has several people whose names are redacted in car with Sweat all college aged so there might be some more fallout from this if those are current players (though getting in a car with Sweat or Burrell is really stupid, but they weren't driving). Now that people know details and they are more reported, I suspect Burrell will be charged shortly.
  8. Burrell was allegedly driving the other car?
  9. Jon - 2 Tucker - 0 Actually that probably made it something like Jon - 13 Carlson - 0
  10. So now all of a sudden they are going to grow a backbone? OK.
  11. As was I, what year? NM...lot earlier. I was a '94 grad.
  12. I don't hate this season like a lot of you. Now that most of the reveal is known, I think they clearly could have done a much better run up through the first four episodes spacing some of it. It just feels a bit like the first four episodes were a slog and it truly felt like they were getting no where on the actual investigation all for the entire house of cards to be dropped this last episode.
  13. I grew up in Chicago and went to the Chicago Bears training camp when I was something like 6 years old and got a picture with the guy. As a result, he was one of my favorite Chicago Bears along with Payton and Singletary. Congrats to a Longhorn legend (who I didn't even know went to UT until I saw this thread)!
  14. As a poor, I appreciate it how much effort a lot of you put into this venture. Sark and CDC have paying positions but so many people involved are going above and beyond and can't be thanked enough for their efforts
  15. Gotcha for the full roster? It makes much more sense that it opens up for everyone for 30 days with a coaching change.
  16. So Saban waited until after the winter portal closed before announcing his retirement?
  17. Block is an effective tool. But I've never laughed as hard as I laughed with what LTX fan quoted in his last post. Every thread gets Derkad then when poeple do exactly what is quoted he says we are all just taking it out on him and picking on him.
  18. I guess all that Milroe is a different QB today than compared to when Texas played them bullshit that Bama/SEC fans were spewing to try to get Bama in ahead of Texas if push came to shove was just a load of bullshit. Their O-line, QB play, and WR are exactly who we thought they were.
