Article today in the New York Metro about the poker raids that went on last Thursday. Never been to one, but the article brought a question up in my head. The article said that these clubs were offering NL games as low as $40 buy in. (Didn't refer to blinds). Is this true for smaller poker rooms? would they really offer a .5/1 nl game?

If I had a nickel for every time someone posted about this I would have at least 45 cents.

I do a search and couldn't find anything. (Granted i'm lazy and didn't search for that long).

any answer since you've seen it so much?

If they are anything like the card rooms in Houston they probably start the night with a $40 tournament and then start the cash games when people begin to bust out. I've never seen a card room spread anything lower then 1/2 PL or NL.

the players club had a 1 2 max 100 buy in game

that's awful.
