Why Revolt? Why a Poker Revolution? Because we're tired of being corralled into another nation-state that usurped the regulated gambling exclusion in 2002. Sure, they like to say that the "compact by initiative" known as Prop 202 was passed by the majority of the electorate. But it only passed by 20K votes out of the 1M cast, and Arizona was home to over 300K Native American voters (dual citizens). The passage of Prop 202 and it's dastardly poison pill clause that effectively prohibits the State, and its citizens, from regulating any and all forms of publicly accepted gaming (poker, daily fantasy sports, sports betting) is why we revolt. We're taking back poker one game at a time. RealPoker.org

Spread the word, bird!

July Schedule and details. We may be adding a weekend day game at Toso's if the owner is agreeable. This would allow players who can't play on weeknights to get involved in the club. There has been some interest from former TTJ and PU members who have a hard time staying out till 10pm on a Tuesday (4 hours sleep). I guess we're all getting older. haha

Over this past weekend we heard back from Saddle Ranch Chop House in the Westgate Entertainment District. After talking to GM Ken a couple of weeks ago, he passed it by corporate legal counsel in CA, who advised him that the Arizona Liquor & License Control Board suggested that AGPT's "were not a good fit" for Saddle Ranch at this time. Hmmmm. I dunno if the AZLLC is involved or not... it could just be SR lawyer in CA giving us, and KEn, the brush off. Sure, it's controversial, but we'll find a venue soon. No shortage of those. I also placed a public records request with Lee Hill of the AZLLC Board. Lee is the one who told us in 2013 that the Board takes no umbrage in excluded gambling on licensee premises... as well as the AZLLC lead investigator, who did add "that's not to say that gaming won't be investigating". Which is fine. Gaming has investigated Dave & Busters before, and issues a warning that their prizes exceeded the $30 max cap provided by law. No mention from gaming about the lure analysis, btw, which remains a question we have -- prizes cannot be offered as a lure to separate players from their money. Lure implies a profit motive, according to the two case laws I have been able to find. The amusement gambling exclusion was specifically carved out for Dave & Busters, Peter Piper Pizza, and Chuck E. Cheese's, after AZ changed their anti-gambling laws 30-40 years ago. So we will continue to search for a place to conduct AGPTs once we're ready to break out of the home game play testing mode, which hasn't yet started either. Slow going. This is, after all, year 5 of the concept inception. :) But I expect good things in the next 6-12 months. Something's gonna crack. :D

CALL FOR PLAYERS!

I put out an e-mail to about 15 people a couple of weeks ago, and everyone that responded is eager to get a game going. WE have a table. We have a dedicated dealer. We have some players, enough for one table and a waiting list if you show up late. lol

Just need a place to play.

If you're interested in joining us as we "Fake" play test the AGPT system, leave a message here with your preferred contact info. or Message John@ThePokerRevolution.

$35+5 game with $5 going to dealer (we have plenty of the gray market best at our disposal) haha. 5K chips. All we do is play a regulat tournament but we keep track, as a group/table of what wins each hand. We can then compare the results to what the payouts would have been in the proposed AGPT system. Eventually, as we get into Phase II we will switch over to the AGPT system, internally, and play test at third party venues.

That's when things start to get fun. :D haha
