Message: [QUOTE="ferratus, post: 1788349, member: 80296"] Couple quick questions I have for the experienced players. I live in the great state of Indiana... ( At least I think its great ).. except for beer sales but thats another area. I was thinking about starting up a poker room in the area. However, I know that if you take a rake you can also take home a pair of nice shiny bracelets if you catch my drift. There are several area poker rooms but all are at least 45 to and hour away from my location. What can you or what can you NOT do with regards to poker.. Is it illegal in your guestimation that you hold a poker room ?? can you have a poker room just not have a rake ? could you start a poker room and not have a rake and maybe just charge a membership fee ?? I know its a grey area and to be honest I know a LOT about the law but I have never come across this or have been exposed to it other than reading or hearing from some friends that an " illegal " poker room was raided.
