The only thing I claim is knowing poker and cheating. Everything else
I dabble in. But, when you wish to debate me in the subjects I know,
you have less chance SLIM. Your chances are NONE. This is a newsgroup
on poker and yet you and many others talk as if you really know
something about the game. In the Valley of the Blind, Cyclops is King.
The problem here, is you're not in the Valley of the Blind, but you
are blind. Things like arguing law with lawyers show how smart you
are.
You've had an exchange with James Hankins who is a lawyer and think
you can interpret the law in a capacity beyond his. How stupid can you
be? TY, you already answered the question.

First of all Wayne, WTF is an non-natural person? Next, the poster
above has stated he plays with cops in games and there is NO PROBLEM.
But, the JACKPOT is the following. All these guys played in Larry
Flynt's Mansion in California, where playing poker is definetly
ILLEGAL. Many also played at the Pickford Estate when Jerry Buss ran a
game there. I couldn't get into that game.
So, these guys will play when it's against the law, if it suits them.

For a man who claims to know how to use google, you're not very good at
it. A non-natural person is any legal entity that acts in most ways like
a person, but isn't actually one. For example, a corporation or
partnership. Like, oh say, the partnership that allows the pros to pool
their money to play without getting raped by the IRS.
The "cops" thing is totally irrelevant.

The IRS is totally irrelevant. Income is income in Nevada just like it is
in Texas. You've just constructed this fiction that players pooling their
money suddenly turns them into non-people under the gambling statute in
Texas and it's utter horseshit. How many of the participants in The
Corporation have given this as the reason they won't play Beale?

Wrong question, Russ. The question is whether a non-natural person can

I still want to know what a 'non-natural' person is in Texas?
Non resident?
Not born in Texas?
Wouldn't these two be easily identified in a statute?

A natural person would be 5th generation Texan. Less than 5th generation
would be an Okie, ie, non-natural person. Yankees are generally
considered non-persons.

I already said it's any legal entity such as a corporation or partnership
that sometimes counts as a "person" for legal purposes, but isn't actually
a physical person. An example would be the partnership the pros would
need to pool money.
If you look at the Texas law, a non-natural person doesn't meet the social
gambling exception because people other than the player benefit, violating
clause (2) of the social gambling exception. This is a standard feature
of almost if not all social gambling laws, intended to prevent people from
running casino-like operations under their guise. It appears that there's
at least one current prosecution in Texas for someone trying to do exactly
that, so this is NOT a paper tiger. It's a real legal problem that anyone
with a brain would stay far away from, especially if they would have to
cross state lines to participate (which renders it a federal felony, not a
piddly state misdemeanor).

OK. What basis do you have for your assertion that your legal reason above
is the reason given by Ivey et al. for refusing to play Beale in Dallas?
Your assertion all along was that this hypertechnical legal interpretation
was the reason they won't play. How do you know this?
And, I don't suppose you could provide some details about the "current
prosecution in Texas" on this matter?

Because the players said as much. I don't remember where, but Todd
pointed out that given Texas law there was no way to get their money down
without creating a tax shitstorm and that Beal should just nut up and come
play at one of the Vegas casinos.

I'll try to dig it up tonight - a "rakeless" poker club was busted a while
back on the basis of what I described, and I believe it's still waiting to
go to trial.

A tax shitstorm is way different than what you've been spouting here.
I would argue, as would any lawyer in this case, that a partnership (or
corporation), can actually play in a game of poker. There may be an
agreement to split profits and such after an individual plays in the game,
but the partnership sure as hell aint sitting at the table playing.
This whole argument of yours is retarded and doesn't have anything to do
with the real world.

IF the corporation thought they had a big edge over Beal, they would have
been in their cars heading to the airport immediately after hearing his
terms. The fact is, he scares the shit out of them. He outplayed the fuck
out of most of them and had they not (admittedly) gotten hit by the deck
during a few key sessions, he would have put a HUGE dent in their rolls.
Wasn't there also an issue with the blinds? Beal had them raised at one
point and I thought I read somewhere that he wanted to continue where they
left off, whereas Doyle requested (on behalf of the corp) that the limits be
brought back down if there was to be another match. He scares them.
Period.

LOL.
Texas has no state oncome tax.
They wouldn't go to Texas to play Beale because it would increase his
comfort level and decrease theirs, possibly negating any edge they might
have thought they'd have. (sleep pattern disruptions, sleeping in hotel
rooms, etc).

No, it was busted because its claim of "rakeless" was just a meaningless
pretense. A rake by some other name is still a rake -- revenue is revenue.

I actually found his lame explanation later in the thread. I was thinking
about why some people on here will stay with an argument even though they
have to know they are wrong. They must not work anywhere they have to
actually deal with other people.
It really isn't a sign of weakness to say 'hey, I see what you mean and

It it's an unsettled part of Texas law then a person might have some
hesitation in playing a high stakes game under those circumstances. But,
Wayne's point is that the hypertechnical legal argument is the reason why
Ivey and the others will not go to Dallas to play Beale. It's just kooky.

It's a little more complex than that.
First of all it has to be no charges or revenues of any kind, no tipping,
no collections for pizza, nothing.
Also, if the game is in a public place with a liquor license there might
be some TABC regs about card games in general (there used to be a bar in
Victoria which used card faced dominoes because TABC didn't allow cards or
dice in a room that served drinks).
Hiring a cop to kill your ex-wife is still a crime, even if the cop is
on-duty though.
