Michael,

By illegal I mean very similar to what you see in Rounders as KGB's place. You have to be buzzed in thru a gate with a camera outside. Other than that is it nothing like KGB's. Waitresses, Nice carpeting, Leather chairs and top of the line tables, Professional Dealers, Bad beat Jackpots, and everything else you would expect at a casino. In Texas it is legal to play home poker, or for that matter poker anyplace else as long as the money paid into the pot is paid out. In other words "NO RAKE". The game I hold at my house once a week is Legal since I dont take a rake. Although I have not been to one, I hear that there are also places in town with Blackjack and Craps tables as well.
