I finally got more information why Blueroom got raided and had to close down a couple of weeks ago. The first problem was that they didn't require membership and by doing this didn't even work on the grey area. The second problem was that the owners were playing in the game which is also forbidden. There had been undercover cops playing in the games and found out these leaks in Blueroom's system. I was possibly playing with undercover cops, that's kind of cool!

 

This is what I've heard but anyway these kind of things often have other factors aswell. What came to mind was that maybe someone didn't remember to pay bribes, Hong Kong Poker House has better connections and didn't like Blueroom taking over the market or they were running something even more illegal on the side. Just maybe...

 

Anyway at least next PLO game and the biggest NL games are running in a totally new place for me. Some Mahjong-club which now also has poker games. Because of these undercover cops you can't get into this club only if you know someone who takes you there, but otherwise they don't take new members. I'm not quite sure if this is the case with HKPH aswell now but have to find out if I happen to go there again. Next time (hopefully in the next two days) I'll go and try this Mahjong-club and try to enjoy a little bit more live poker before I have to leave HK in two months. Luckily before that another Coinflipper is coming here for two weeks and besides sightseeing we have to try poker in HK and Macau, get wasted in both cities and go for THE bungee jump. Can't tell you I wasn't excited.
