The vote for a new poker club will be held at Farmer's Branch City Hall on Tuesday, May 7th at 6pm. If you live in the area and want to support the cause, please be there!

[@DougPolkPoker]

Did I mention the date? It's TOMORROW, at Farmers Branch City Hall at 6pm

[@89.]

oh nm i guess one tiny corner of farmers branch does abut the DNT. Basically the card room is in Addison

Good luck with your expansion Doug, wishing you as much success in business as you’ve had in poker.

[@joshyaks]

A building big enough to hold 100 tables and a parking lot with only 100 spaces - that's quite a challenge to solve!

[@michaelsmith4904]

promoting public transit too!

[@surplusbargains]

6 people in each car

[@SebaRolaMusic]

I know, just imagine the maths involved in that..

[@elasmojones]

Don't have a clown car full of players, no parking for you!

[@maxwellbabigian]

parking costs $100 for a single person, $60 for 2 in a car, $30 for 3, $15 for 4, $5 for 5+ and some kinda promo if you show up via uber/public transit

[@danjensen8184]

Best success on the vote, Doug! I'm in and a resident of WA State, so I won't be there, but hoping the best for the project.

[@flaco1346]

Great timing Doug, you know everyone thought this was trolling Rampage!! #Genius

[@pinballinc1752]

City councilman, "what are you going to do about parking?"...Doug - "we'll figure it out"....yea, that will go over really well.

[@bens956]

Only if you call the card room The Slodge

[@nromero1856]

Congrats Doug! I hope it passes, can’t wait to come out. Farmers Branch is a great central location, have lived in DFW since 1999. 635/DNT is a main artery for the metroplex, and we’re used to driving across town. Being too close to city center of Dallas would be a nightmare to get to on weekends/evenings. Good luck!

[@ianshirreffs5604]

Good luck, Doug!!! I truly hope this comes through for you. 👍

[@Jerry_Rose397]

Maui, Hawaii supports you Doug & the whole card game industry in Dallas, Tex!🤙🏽

[@joeingram1]

This is what they mean when they say grinding in the streets - glglgl

[@brianpotter2812]

Awesome! Glad to see you're expanding. having one in Houston would be awesome for when I make business trips there!

[@Knicks977]

Hi Brian are you related to harry?

[@nassau3468]

Need to figure out the parking. Virtually no one wants to valet at a poker room, especially in a warehouse district.

[@SebaRolaMusic]

Doug, I'm on a beach in Thailand and the Mojitos are unending. I wish I was here - and I am - but wishing you the best of luck there and may the sun shine on your plans sir. Chin-chin‼️

[@aqn1976]

GL with the vote Doug as I believe every major city should have access to a decent poker room!!!

[@bshackelford6]

I will be there tomorrow to support the effort, Doug. Good luck!!

[@sgmurphy19]

I have a prior commitment in Plano or else I would be there. Good luck to getting your proposal heard and voted on successfully. Having played backroom games, home games, and establishment games; I can definitely say having a legit establishment is the fairest, safest, and smartest way to go.

[@jg7102]

Doug does Dallas. Best of luck brother. 🍻

[@JRom_19]

Good luck Doug! I hope this works out. If i lived in that area I 'd be there for sure

[@Tickman45]

Really thought this was a rampage parody

[@aaronsoto4622]

That's awesome. I think every growing bustling city should have a place for joy and entertainment. Gotta have something fun to do in those country towns.

[@blakeisdope]

sending good luck from Seattle! we have the same problem where cardrooms are illegal in the city, so annoying

[@Ihave10billionsubs]

Smart man. Transitioning from poker pro to business mogul. Good luck with everything sir. 👍

[@NOmore5150]

Good luck Doug to you and The Lodge team. Let's get a Lodge card room to Dallas and all the tourists

[@aliceacuna652]

We’ll be there to support!

[@DougPolkPoker]

Will see you there!

[@tobykay5749]

Commenting to support! The lodge is awesome

[@sup3rshe3p20]

Love you, Doug

[@degenclint]

Would love to see this work out. Would love to see some legitimate competition for TCH who basically owns the area.

[@Cam_all-in-on-GME]

Doug squinting reminds me of Harry from 3rd Rock From the Sun, love it

[@nurifit5179]

The lack of parking is a HUGE problem, and will be the reason you will be refused or the reason you should not take that spot. Been there, done that. Parking spots are gold.

[@Tico2Tilted]

I hope this went well I will definitely be buying a membership if this gets approved

[@s111stock]

Good luck Doug. The building looks awesome...Perfect for a card room.

[@anthonylacey2876]

Hope there might be room for a semi to park... Best of luck... The lodge is my favorite poker room

[@JS-lc4kg]

doug polk and his team of 5-10 analysts are one of the best heads up players of our time. props!

[@therealMelB]

I wish I lived in Texas, i would absolutely support this! Poker at the Lodge is my favorite stream, you guys do it right Doug! Best of luck ❤❤❤

[@ligafftheindifferent3495]

That parking issue is a real problem. Poker players are not going to want to deal with Valet.

[@claytonbigsbee6639]

Good luck Doug. Love that big fucking card club!

[@warpeace8891]

Another piece of the tourism puzzle. How could they say no to you if you have ticked all their boxes? Thanks for sharing. I am happy for you.

[@derekarmstrong2209]

How did the meeting go? From Canada, but do want to go to your card room in Austin. Good luck!!

[@MrAgmoore]

It’s a family city, with religious objections. I read an online article.

[@prestonfox6724]

Okay but did you buy Rounders in SA or nah

[@SeanCosgrove1]

Hope you get it. Just wondering what the parking arrangements would look like. Does that lot hold a couple hundred cars?

[@JPC.]

I think it's still better than "The Lodge" in Austin.

[@ashishgore0]

When are you expanding to Long Island, NY?

[@christophera434]

Hell ya brother. May be hard to compete with TCH Social since its so nice and safe, but I'll def come out to the new place if it opens!

[@l.ls.8890]

Wishing your good luck with the councils vote as it would be interesting to see live games and tournaments from Lucky Rock Card Room.

[@loco4dogg]

Good luck. I'm in Canada and if there was a card room in Farmer's Branch it would give the family a reason to do the tourist thing there.

[@cole-nq1ru]

On one of your next 50 expansions come to Charlotte. I moved here from Chicago and holy cow there isn't a poker room within 4 hours. I have to rely on my job for income it's terrible. Save me.

[@donmasacre4919]

I will love a card room in Charlotte.

[@Mileena420]

Dude yes to this. We will come in droves. There's already a huge underground poker scene.

[@nomoarrgames8954]

Shocking!! all the counties next to OK whose politicians most likely get paid by Choctaw/Winstar won't allow poker!?

[@Texasfishingfamily]

Have to admit that would be a good place to have a room that big. Im SW of Ft Worth now but Id still make the drive for some big events.

[@libs-Suk-Balz]

You are the man!!!

[@kaceydillin7367]

I hope this vote goes well. The parking situation could be dicey. I wish those of us in the Temple, Killeen, Waco area had more options, please build one between round rock and Dallas

[@JPC.]

Will meet you tomorrow at 6pm Mr.Polker hands.

[@IBesTMaN]

Did The Lodge buy Rounders in San Antonio?

[@andrewkirwan517]

I am from Plano, Tx. Still technically a resident there. However I spend more of my time living in dominicn republic. When home I will 100% come play and could easily plan trips around tournaments

[@scottp6665]

how'd it go?

[@snakeking5009]

Dallas will help you on the condition you start uploading more YT videos. Come on Doug!

[@jonathangomez9187]

Good luck! You've got tons of experience working for you

[@TheInvestmentCircle]

Was wondering when you’re going to go out to Dallas

[@LS-df5fe]

Sorry to learn that the ordinance to have legalized card rooms did not pass. Good luck on finding another alternative.

[@buttha11]

Solid Rock Card Room. Good luck with the vote boys!

[@curtisoltmann152]

If you acquire Rounders in San Antonio, please leave all your tyrannical Lodge rules, there.

[@blbrand16]

What happened with the vote?

[@DanesinTexas]

I hope it works out, I would play tournaments there 👍 Is poker legal near TX motor speedway? That would be a good spot.

[@user-bu8bc9zu5s]

Location is key, but so is the suze of the poker room, must have plenty of free parking, & have local eateries close by...

Good luck, Doug!

[@Alyssa27110]

I live extremely close by and own a small business but I'm in Addison. The only question is is the city going to be poker friendly? Not all cities are, some are quite hostile ( like Dallas)

[@DougPolkPoker]

If we get approved we should be good to go.

[@MrAgmoore]

Hostile. They are ok with poker, but they want it outside the city. Family oriented, churchgoing ⛪️

[@bentonja668]

By outside the city, they mean Oklahoma. Texas will be the last state in the region without any form of regulated cannabis. Even Arkansas has regulated (medical) cannabis and legal gambling.

[@MrAgmoore]

@@bentonja668 I live in Canada, so I assumed that they meant, the Dark Side of the Moon 🌙

[@camela9627]

Ooo buying card rooms in San Antonio, Dallas and where else?

[@Mase1up]

Welp, that's right where my wife and I are probably moving. Won't be there in time for any kind of vote however. Best wishes man!

[@BoardsOnNord]

Lol wheres rampage... he should plug how he needs a milly

[@matthewturner4720]

There are already multiple card rooms near las colinas / farmer's branch, so you're mostly going o eat into texas card house's players. I would really love to see one in another area of town (further east) and personally feel it would be better for y'all if you wait for approval somewhere like Richardson.

[@sylustx6254]

underestimating the parking problem

[@michaelsweaney3890]

Whats up guys, Doug Polk here....I eat corn 🌽 the long way.

[@ChrisSmart-oj4vb]

You should be fne with your crediblity and success with the Round Rock Lodge.....Parking will be very tight, unlike at The Lodge round Rock. With 100 tables you will need to have minimum 500 spaces, good Luck!!! i used to live in Dallas and drove over to Round rock once a month to Play....Live in Boca Raton Florida now, you guys should come to South Florida next if Possible, the only real good poker spot we have is the Seminole Hard Rock.....Tons of good commecial space available here in Boca.

[@jbarres80]

I just moved down to Arlington and farmers branch is nice area Texas card house has 2/3 in that area. Good luck I have a security company would love to talk more Doug GL

[@nickn08]

Can someone please open a room in East Plano/Allen/Murphy?? I have to drive 30 minutes to get to any room! TCH, Shuffle, etc

Any update on the hearing???

Motion was denied 4-1

There are some top notch brands of palm grease available to greenlight this after a brief yellow light

[@Whizkidsoo]

Damn I was just In Dallas for the first time looking for a pokers club ended up a tx card house was wishing I was at the lodge. They don’t serve food ended up getting food poisoning from the restaurant across the street hourly rate was 13$ plus daily fee of 20$ thought that was too much…also tbh Dallas has a huge airline hub i fly their for buss every month from now on… I hope this passes, idk the area but the one I went to in Dallas the hotel they recommended one should be a partnership & hopefully you guys have multiple hotels in that area of different costs & rating because the hotel I stayed at was ok 👌 (but only one within a mile or walking distance)that’s being kind & I had one of their bigger suites. I’ve only done Tournys and been to Austin lodge once but price wise what’s the comparison for membership, everything played significantly bigger it was a 2/5/10/25 game & I like the hourly because it allows me to take a break but I did 5x my money wish I didn’t have to carry it around walking through the area, Doug you should just buy a hotel if there’s one near there maybe as part of roll out proposal…But in Doug and team I trust!

[@markjohnnojohnson5352]

Just go to vegas and build Polk Towers 🎰

[@luli4692]

Hey Doug, is there anyway we can get in contact via email. We’re on the same street as you, newly purchased facility. Looking to help the city turn that area around. Would love to get in contact to see what we can do to help.

[@kayron3635]

Good luck Doug!

Yea, more card rooms😊... more tournaments, more visitors. Ann, Florida fan

[@thatdudebeef5567]

will any of the hearing or voting be streamed anywhere for people who want to keep up with it live as its unfolding?

Vote No! Anything that helps Doug Polk is something that is bad for humanity.

[@gaoeva9962]

Waiting for the result! Hope you got it!

[@calebsanzano8460]

Lmfao, doug 100% did the thumbnail & title on purpose. 🤣😭

[@joegillum]

Just a comment as a local. That spot is too close to TCH Dallas and TCH Social. Why compete that directly? Move it north! Like near Plano. Not that I have any skin in that game at all. No, not at all. I mean I live in Plano but, yeah! Here's a hint, there is a super badass building that tried to put a room in earlier, maybe it could be done right with your credentials. Its the 3 Forks steakhouse that closed down on DNT tollway. It is super swank, like a men's club inside. Super cool looking outside and big inside. You should take a look! (note: I think that 3 Forks location is in Dallas county)

[@DougPolkPoker]

Poker is illegal in Collin County

[@joegillum]

@@DougPolkPoker Sigh, yeah. Just saw its barely in Collin County's grip. Like literally less than a mile. Collin is so dumb about some things. Richardson? :)

[@EricA-xd9fn]

Doug, my two-cents is you should reach out to the cities of Richardson and Garland (specifically north Garland near the George Bush Frwy). That will be proximate to 75-Central and the population centers in Plano, Allen & McKinney. Farmers Branch is sorta "built out", and that's why parking is going to hamstring you in your targeted location.

[@coreyp9072]

Or closer to Fort Worth

[@joegillum]

@@coreyp9072 Then TCH wins. No one will go. I could see adding 1 location to Dallas and 1 to Fort Worth, in that order. But if you try to split the differerence, you lose. Its too far and would be a PITA to get to for the bulk of your intended customer base.
