I grew up in Indianapolis and went to IU. Muncie is north of Indy, and is where Ball State University is (David Letterman, Bonzi Wells, etc)
Per this Indianapolis Star newspaper article, it looks like the friggin mayor of Muncie, Johnny Carson's old sidekick Ed McMahon, and private backers have opened a poker club. The DA has given the nod, saying it is a game of skill, not chance. While this may not catch on everywhere, this is pretty interesting.
If nothing else, it shows exactly how mainstream poker is getting. I would be awfully excited to be able to catch a good local game rather than mess with ye olde online. Nashville, TN is pretty slim pickings.There is something about the feeling of cards in hand that online just doesn't bring me. Then again, I am a rec player, unlike all of you semi-pro monsters.
Any thoughts on this story and what it means for the future of the game?
