Three prominent poker pros are joining the ever-growing Texas poker industry as majority owners of the popular Lodge Poker Club in Austin.
Doug Polk is teaming up with vloggers Andrew Neeme and Brad Owen to operate the largest card room in Central Texas — The Lodge Poker Club, dubbed the "Lodge Mahal."
The Lone Star State is a unique place for poker as the laws differ from most states. Accepting rake on individual pots would be a violation of state laws, so the card rooms operate as membership clubs and charge monthly membership fees and/or daily/hourly seat fees.
