Legends Poker Room in Houston, Texas, has become legendary for all the wrong reasons. Two words: shootings & robberies.
As Legends Poker Room reviewer NLHPLO said in a one-chip review (out of five chips) on the pokeratlas.com website, “Again this Saturday 07/23 bullets flying. I was playing right by the bathroom and suddenly heard gun shots everyone started running here and there it was a chaos. After few minutes I saw 2 big bullet holes near the smoke door near the TV. This place is getting worse day by day. I urge all players please don’t play here. We have better places to play in Houston than this, which are nicer and safer.”
Owner David La seems unmotivated to do anything about it.
That’s right, Legends and the area nearby have become well known as a literal shooting gallery.
