we had a poker game going at Dudds every single night of the week while in CS ... no one gave to flying sh*ts

Well, at MY bar, we have a card game we play but we were just told that instead of having our dollars out on the table (which we did for years even though it's pretty blatantly breaking the rules) we have to hide the money and play with chips instead so that it looks like we're JUST playing cards and not playing for monies. That have always sufficed with TABC.

Laaaaaammmmmmeeee

I think he lied to you

Texas hold em is played at our wine bar every tuesday night, and the tabc have given approval as long as the house doesn't take any money from the pot. That restaurant was probably just being conservative.

you can't play drinking games (maybe that's what he thought you were doing) and you can't gamble with money

just playing crazy 8s is fine

My guess is he either doesn't understand the rule or is being overly cautious.

I'd probably the same way if it was my bar.

Played cards (Pitch) at the bird several times.

No one said anything to me.
