This video was all in good fun. It didn't please everyone. And so be it. However, I have now uploaded a highlights only video of the meeting without me yapping so go watch that if you're one of those people 😂

How can a world wide famous game called Texas Holdem be illegal in Texas 🙃
bc.....america
When has this country ever made sense?
Dumb and ironic
@@thaotruong6853 that reply basicaly sums up this country lo
@@thaotruong6853 it's like when girls say they respect their bodies but then are selling nudes for $40 on the internet
Cuz, God
Linda's son definitely needs to study GTO :/
I think I've stacked Linda's son with my GTO play! 😂😂😂
The sheer amount of Karens who know nothing of what they talk about here is insane.
With a crime rate of 43 per one thousand residents, Farmers Branch has one of the highest crime rates in America compared to all communities of all sizes - from the smallest towns to the very largest cities. One's chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime here is one in 23. Super funny to me that so many of these people speaking against poker are making it sound like this is such a nice and safe community when in reality...
Interesting
So what is this some sort of pre qualification? Since the crime rate is high let’s add to it?
@@derekbundy4631 playing poker isnt a crime bud. if you dont like poker dont go to the poker room
I think he is just stating since the last woman stated her community was so innocent he was saying she is a lier😅 not credible information after reviewing Googled facts that took 3 seconds @derekbundy4631
@@derekbundy4631 how would poker add to the crime rate?
thank you for doing this Alex. I really enjoyed it
The lady whose parents met at a poker game and also met her husband at a poker game was so wholesome
I really don’t understand why you have so few subscribers, i LOVE your content. Keep doing what you doing bro, you will go far. In the future when you have your 1 million remember that i was in the first 3000!! Wish you all the best bro
Thanks man love this energy
i like how Alex summarizes these poker news so we don’t have to sift through a 5-hour video. doing the Lord’s work here
As a long time cash game player (S FL) who long ago stopped following poker news I really appreciate your channel’s recent pivot and really only get my poker news, at this point, from a few hybrid poker channels like yours (and Doug’s).
I encourage you to continue.
That said I encourage you to reconsider the way you minimize the opinions of those that oppose our position.
I think it obvious that any opposed town resident, after watching this video, would not be swayed and would likely feel more justified in keeping us out.
This is not the way to change minds.
Being respectful and letting them see who we are over time is the way.
The truth, as we both know, is that unlike general gambling poker brings far more good to a community than bad.
We have to acknowledge that there are those (we’ve all seen them) who get lost being poker degens BUT the skills learned in making decisions with imperfect information is so critical (I taught it to all 4 of my children) and the community writ large are certainly net positive additions to most communities.
Just my two cents.
Well said!
Duvall thought he was performing a stand up comedy set in this video. You can be a proponent of poker while not being a douche. Also, trying to say chess is a game of luck and is similar to poker at all is laughable.
The best is the older guy in yellow's reaction to all the anti poker people. Lol. He's low-key hilarious
Haha i just started looking at him. Freaking hilarious.
Pops matches the kicks with the top... He wins grampa Fit of the Day
I was really hoping we could make poker great again in the state of Texas! Hopefully Doug tries again.
As a poker player, they aren’t wrong. All their concerns are valid for sure.
14:04 someone tell her “irregardless” isn’t a word.
I heard someone say, “uninconspicuous”…it hurt my brain
Great video Alex, busted out laughing multiple times
yo thats Paul Tassone. he used to deal in the charelstown races and slots card room from 2009 to 2013 and then became a pro card player. Good to see you Paul!!!
The end boss lmao
Linda needs to get her son a training site subscription for his bday.
I’m a poker player and would selfishly welcome a wider availability of card rooms in Texas, and anywhere for that matter. But you’ve got your head in the sand if you don’t acknowledge that gambling rooms attract a lot of degenerates, crime and drugs. Yes there are many good people as well, but so what, it doesn’t offset the downsides. It’s not uncommon in poker rooms to see pots on select tables in the tens of thousands of dollars. Just some harmless, friendly neighbourhood poker action. Great for the community! Gimme a break.
Did anyone else think that photo was shopped when they first saw it? 😂
Ironically with regard to Linda’s comment, I’m poker playing pastor. Yes, we exist. Cheers!
good work Alex, and a little levity. keep it up
Thanks for the kind comments Alex!
Alex I just started watching your videos I came along this video and I would love for the both of you guys to come to Hawaii and help us with getting poker here please 🙏🏽
Doug Polk started with 10 dollars? That seems a little extreme 😂😂
Pack the bags. You got me laughing there.
I've seen poker destroy people's lives and most players are losers.
Can we locate Linda’s kid and see his stay and where in the hell was he gambling? Back of alleys
Lame people hating on poker
If you buy lottery tickets you gamble.
If you invest in the stock market or a 401k you gamble.
If you buy insurance you gamble.
Many of the institutions we do business with on a daily, monthly, or annual basis is a gamble.
The only difference with poker is that you are betting on yourself. YOU are the asset that you are investing in to hopefully yield a profit.
Love when both sides of an argument are wrong, especially when both sides have actual valid points they could make
Isn't the Texas Cardhouse like 10 feet outside of Farmer's Branch?
whole reaction was hilarious
That old lady probably told doug he is going to hell.
It was an infuriating meeting for those of us there in support
Is this the Footloose town?
They were there first, it's not like they moved to Vegas and tried to shut down the strip. The poker community is trying to set up shop in their back yard, if gambling goes against the values and beliefs of the locals then it's best to set up somewhere else, you wouldn't put a liquor store in a Sunni neighborhood, not everyone has the same belief system that's why you have these meetings, to take the pulse of the community. I gamble and I can do it responsibility but we all know some players who are sick and should get help, we refer to them as whales and think they have tens of millions and can afford it but that's not always the case. I think poker is healthy for the majority, especially for the retiree's to socialize and stimulate their mind but I can respect people's opinions too and I know it's not all sunshine and lollypops, if you play enough poker you've seen the dark side. Gambling addiction is real and making it close and convenient for some college kid vs having to drive 2 hours could change their life. I don't think we should laugh at these people. The types of businesses you put in a community shape the community, just like when you put more liquor stores in a community you get more alcoholics. I moved to the gambling capital of the world and I gamble a lot and like being able to but not everyone wants it close to where they're raising a family and I can respect that too
I'm wondering if the presentation included revenues or business that Poker has brought to the community where The Lodge is located.
While I believe their decision to pass on having a cardroom in their town is a mistake. I also respect the people who live there for coming together and making that choice. I am also sure that Doug and Co didn't put all their hopes on one location either. I hope that they consider trying for New Braunfels.
There are 3 other card rooms close to where he wants to open up. It would be tough for for a 4th to succeed in my opinion
Brazil made it a national mind sport. The name should be changed to Brazilian Hold 'em.
Yeah I never understood why poker is so related to casinos and gambling in general
@@daniel_cunha Benny Binion. Before him it was more like 3 card monty though, it was never a fair game. Benny saw the art in it.
hairless holdem
Associating drugs, illegal activity, and drinking with poker is ridiculous, i thought Texas was a state of freedom? Gambling in general should be allowed, and definitely, poker. If you're that bad at poker maybe you should take a break or give it up, I stand with Doug and hope he gets his room ✊🏼
I've been in the online gaming business since 2001 and would consider investing in a new room, be it Texas or S Fl, it's always been a dream of mine (hmu Doug, my mom is from England too, my dad's name is Doug, we have many, many things in common).
This meeting makes Texas look really bad imo, I live in Florida and consider us the top 2 states as far as freedom is concerned. It actually makes me think of Footloose trying to outlaw dancing in the 1980's 🤣🤣🤣
p.s. Linda, your son is a loser.
Lmao this is the comedy gold I get behind
Watching this being from Europe blows my mind.
I wonder if they sell lottery tickets in Farmer's Branch, Texas.
mr doug poke xD
New meme acquired
That was my favorite part 🤣 I wish we could find out what that lady said to him. I bet it wasn’t inviting him to Sunday dinner 🤣
The woman @ 12:40 is 64y/o & the woman @16:30 is 60y/o. That's crazy, she could be her grandmother
Parking at the lodge sucks, but that’s not the lodges fault. That whole area just wasn’t designed for a facility like that. The new location was a jump house prior where the old room was in the same complex just around the corner. It’s an old shopping center built at the top of a hill off the highway with a tree in the middle of the lot.
That town is dry. Many suburbs around Dallas are. That’s the alcohol issue
A poker table in America is America the way TV commercials seldom portray it, but it really is. The house is constantly raking your earnings and immigrants are told to speak English or they can leave.
"nice haircut loser" 😂😂😂
At home games you see those things.(drugs and illigal activity) hard to do anything illigal around 1000 cameras with gaurdds.. By hosting a safe environment for us is a must by the state!!!
Alex the man said he'd be glad to take his pastor to play poker not that he wouldn't take him, you misheard him.
I understood that, I was just referencing the lady that said she wouldn’t. Sound was kinda tough for this one. We’re on the same page 👌
Farmer's Branch could expand to Farmer's Tree, and then to Farmer's Forest...
Do they have state sponsored lottery in Texas ?
Chat GPT says YES. Used to “fund public education” lol
@@AlexDuvall do the anti-gambling residents made an uproar about scratcher tickets, and blame lottery retailers for people losing all their money on lottery tickets?
One can buy lottery tickets from vending machines in places such as Kroger and Walmart in Texas.
@@MarathonPokerNomad it’s just hypocritical for these people to say such negative things about poker and gambling when they live in a society where gambling is already allowed
@@mitchezelottery, bingo, horse tracks are all legal in Texas.
Mr. Doug Poke please bring the lodge to Houston. We will welcome with open arms❤❤
taking over for Joe Ingram. Best poker content on YT
All them Karen’s in one room 🤦🏻♂️
Mayor, in all seriousness, we do not have enough adderall in reserve to open another poker room
If this guy would shut, not comment, and let the speakers make their points this would be a good video.
I’m going to post another version today you’ll like better
Brilliant
Ive not once sipped a liquer.
the parking lot is atrocious at the lodge lmao, but thats more of an indictment of our modern transport system than anything else...
Make it legal for Texan! Open up casinos!!!
A pool table, don't you understand?
Friend, either you're closing your eyes to a situation you do not wish to acknowledge
Or you are not aware of the caliber of disaster
Indicated by the presence of a pool table in your community
Well, ya got trouble my friend
Right here I say, trouble right in River City, why sure, I'm a billiard player
Certainly, mighty proud I say, I'm always mighty proud to say it
I consider that the hours I spend with a cue in my hand are golden
Help you cultivate horse sense and a cool head and a keen eye
Did you ever take and try to find and iron-clad leave for yourself
From a three-rail billiard shot?
But just as I say it takes judgement, brains and maturity to score
In a balkline game, I say that any boob
Can take and shove a ball in a pocket
And I call that sloth the first big step on the road to the depths of deg-ra-day
I say, first, medicinal wine from a teaspoon, then beer from a bottle
And the next thing you know your son is playing for money in a pinch-back suit
And listenin' to some big outta town jasper, hearin' him tell about horse race gamblin'
Not a wholesome trottin' race, no, but a race where they set down right on the horse
Like to see some stuck-up jockey boy, settin' on Dan Patch? Make your blood boil
Well I should say
Now friends, let me tell you what I mean
You got 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 pockets in a table
Pockets that mark the difference between a gentleman and a bum
With a capital "B" and that rhymes with "P" and that stands for pool
And all week long your River City youth'll be fritterin' away
I say, your young men will be fritterin'
Fritterin' away their noontime, suppertime, choretime too
Get the ball in the pocket, never mind gettin' dandelions pulled
Or the screen door patched or the beef steak pounded
Never mind pumpin' any water, 'til your parents are caught with the cistern empty
On a Saturday night and that's trouble
Yes, you got lots and lots of trouble, I'm thinkin' of the kids in the knickerbockers
Shirt-tail young ones, peekin' in the pool hall window after school
You got trouble, folks, right here in River City, trouble with a capital "T"
And that rhymes with "P" and that stands for pool
Now I know all you folks are the right kind of parents
I'm gonna be perfectly frank
Would you like to know what kinda conversation goes on while they're loafing around that hall?
They be tryin' out Bevo, tryin' out cubebs
Tryin' out Tailor Mades like cigarette fiends
And braggin' all about how they're gonna cover up a tell-tale breath with Sen-Sen
One fine night, they leave the pool hall
Heading for the dance at the Arm'ry
Libertine men and scarlet women, and ragtime, shameless music
That'll grab your son, your daughter with the arms of a jungle, animal instinct
Mass-staria
Friends, the idle brain is the devil's playground
Trouble (oh, we got trouble)
Right here in River City (right here in River City)
With a capital "T" and that rhymes with "P" and that stands for pool (that stands for pool)
We've surely got trouble (we've surely got trouble)
Right here in River City (right here)
Gotta figure out a way to keep the young ones moral after school
(Our children's children gonna have trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble)
Mothers of River City, heed that warning before it's too late
Watch for the tell-tale signs of corruption
The minute your son leaves the house
Does he re-buckle his knickerbockers below the knee?
Is there a nicotine stain on his index finger?
A dime novel hidden in the corn crib?
Is he starting to memorise jokes from Cap'n Billy's Whiz Bang?
Are certain words creeping into his conversation
Words like, like "swell"? (Trouble, trouble, trouble)
And so's your old man? (Trouble, trouble, trouble)
Well if so, my friends, you got trouble (oh we got trouble)
Right here in River City (right here in River City)
With a capital "T" and that rhymes with "P" and that stands for pool (that stands for pool)
We've surely got trouble (we've surely got trouble)
Right here in River City (right here)
Remember the Maine, Plymouth Rock and the Golden Rule
(Our children's children gonna have trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble)
Oh, we got trouble, we're in terrible, terrible trouble
That game with the fifteen numbered balls is a devil's tool (devil's tool)
Oh, yes we got trouble, trouble, trouble
(Oh yes we got trouble here, we got big, big trouble)
With a "T" (with a capital "T")
Gotta rhyme it with "P" (gotta rhyme with "P")
And that stands for pool (that stands for pool)
what is this
@@carterwilliams9708 it’s trouble! In river city!
@@carterwilliams9708I stopped reading at a pool table
Wow Farmer's Branch has like a U shape and Texas Card House of TCH Live fame is right in the middle of the U but not actually in town limits. So basically everyone in Farmer's Branch lives within five miles of a card room already but they don't get any tax benefit from it. *I bet all those people holding the signs were paid by TCH haha.
Bro I tune in to hear of dwan not paying debts, of mike postle, of jack4….and i can process this…
Well I can’t blame Linda for thinking these are not a good things…
Poker players are honest 🤞
how dare you take advantage of rampage the other day with your video lol
😬
Does the horse racing track gambling? How about the lottery ? Those are legal in Texas
Poker is a fun way to learn discipline. Think about that. I'm sure some people have had fun discipline experiences but I wonder if it's a common occurrence or an oddity.
you think a poker room in MD is viable?
There’s already several!
@@AlexDuvall ???Where and what're they called? I'm in the area
@@viveksuravenkata mgm national harbor is the best
Stupid how gambling is illegal but every store statewide has scratch offs and lotto tickets. Of all gambling those are the #1 worst in every way. Total scam rip-offs. But but but.....
Doug attacks poker players all the time actually
All the people opposed to gambling look like miserable people.
Shit def goes down in casinos bro but there only doing business in there ya know
I PLAY WITH DORA WEEKLY.. GOOD PEOPLE
GO DORA 🇺🇸
The thing i find wild is you can take crazy crypto bets or crazy option trades or sports betting yet poker is the bad one. Lol.
I meant, "Women who are Housewives , Bartenders, etc...a variety women"
That was you?! Just bustin' your balls
Loved your speech
@@AlexDuvall Yeah, I knew you were just messin' with me ! It's all good. and Thanks....
I think Doug is a bit cringe in all this. Just the playing the victim part killed it, the fact poker players are low lives is irrelevant to if there should be a card room available 😂
Drug polk. We can't let him bring down our community. Say No
My poker games have more coffees than alcohol. Maybe I should transfer….to Texas.
Mr Deck Pok
- the audience speaking against poker is completely based and their words cannot be taken to make a case because they have no objective experience at all towards poker
- all the “prosecuting” people are all basing their argument on the moral dilemma and that because they are Christians… of course they will be against it
- however, the point that residents of Farmers Branch do not want any affiliation with poker or any kind of card gaming is valid; majority of people should have ultimate choice on whether they want to make their hometowns be associated with any sort of industry whatsoever; though I just wish that these people vote against Poker because they actually known the culture behind and not just some diabolical thing that they are making it out to be
Exactly. I'd rather them make a more informed decision as to not embrace a poker room instead of some hair brained knee jerk reaction to "morally this is bad. What would Jesus do!!!?" Kind of response. Because if you want to build a real case against cardrooms you can. There is a reason they're always in shady areas or Indian reservations far far from big cities. I gotta drive 40 minutes to my closest card room here in Los Angeles. And they're always in bad areas.
@@TheFailedmessiahbecause gambling is sketchy and whenever money is involved bad shit can happen. People get robbed in casino parking lots all the time. These people live in a slower community and they don’t want all the racket that a card house will bring. It’s completely valid. Not sure why poker players are acting like children here. Doug can find another place to open a casino. These people clearly don’t want it, and they have every right.
LMAO WTF, everyone against the card room must open limp from UTG
Imagine blaming poker for someone you know being broke and losing all thier money? If i shot myself in the foot with my Sig sauer, i certainly wouldnt blame the gun.....
Why would he start a card club in a town called Farmer's Branch? Sounds like some small town.
I think it’s on the outskirts and more so considered Dallas
@@AlexDuvall Fair enough. I think if Doug emphasized that it's a competitive card game and that this isn't the 'Wild Bill Hickock Days' and everything is corporate and above-board about poker nowadays he would've won. Poker is also a social event that brings in out-of-towners with money. He just has to emphasize these points and it should work.
I don’t think there is any way to make poker sound more innocent than what this audience think it is. With this town’s background and moral/religious upbringing, there is nothing you can make them think that putting money behind cards is totally harmless and does not lead to “corruption” of someone’s well being.
@@KevinClarkson93I love poker though, but it’s a tough sell to the Bible Belt masses.
Bobby Boucher, poker is the devil 😈.
I like the review of this meeting but it came off a bit immature and a tad distasteful.
These people may be ignorant of poker but they are entitled to their opinion.
Some humor is fine but this just came off as childish.
Also the hit piece on rampage was also pretty cringe. And I usually love your content.
I know they were booing some of the people too. Like did you guys forget you are trying to open a card house in their town?
Respectable and upright businesses like liquor stores and smoke shops but oh no not card rooms
U need to move to Nevada
nobody who is addicted to gambling would ever say something like "you know mother there is illegal shit and drugs happening." u want to keep on gambling. stop making shit up woman
There is nothing more evil then a bad beat tho, bann bad beats!
PPLM .. Poker Players Lives matter 😂🫡

25:20 you say the next generation can become pro poker players and they can make a lot of money. Are you somehow mentally inept and unable to comprehend that for every winner there is a loser? Pro poker players don't exist without losing poker players. The fact that people can play poker professionally is proof that there are people out there losing A LOT of money playing poker. Everyone can't be pro. Pros rely on losing players to exist. A lot of those losing players can't afford to lose what they are losing. You can't deny this system exists.
He is not a good public speaker
Hhhhh lol
