U Club, I Hardly Know Thee, Yet My Faith Is Restored.

[shipitfish]

I heard a rumor last night that was “confirmed” this morning: The U Club open just a few weeks, was supposedly busted on Wednesday night.

This is third incarnation of the same club. It is professional and well-run. Meanwhile, clubs run by people who have no business sense at all, like the E and L clubs, run interrupted for a year or more. We all know there is no justice in poker itself, but there's also little justice in the world of quasi-illegal poker clubs in NYC.

I am so glad to learn, now later in the day, that this was a big false alarm — there's a little justice at least. Apparently, they were closed for some non-disclosed reason. They could be on a bigger radar screen, which may mean the days are numbered, but they are up and running at the moment.

Hi,

I'm a NYC player and I recently found your blog through Google.
From what I can gather, I believe I've played at the club you call the L club.

A post on CraigsList today says they got busted last night, but I guess you weren't a great fan of L, and neither am I that much, but they are in the middle of the city and open almost all the time.

Keep up the posts, I like 'em! (Maybe you could hint me at some other places to play too.)
