Through intimate performances produced in collaboration with businesses and non-profits around the city, her company aims to promote the art of flamenco and educate and empower the Houston community. I went back tonight after months of avoiding the place only to hear that I couldn't enter because I 'used the f word repeatedly'.Īmazing.Renteria, a striking and dramatic dancer who began flamenco lessons as a teenager, founded Undebel Flamenco in 2016. It was at this point security grabbed me by the arm and began shoving me out.Īs a side note, he was smaller than me and I am sure that my 10 years practicing BJJ would have alleviated some of the embarrassment of being forcibly removed from the place. Of course, I was bewildered.Īs I was cashing out I asked to speak to the manager. Moments later I was told that I must leave the establishment because I used a 'womens' restroom. I was rather surprised at her indignation that I was there. While at the urinal, one woman did enter the restroom. One night I failed to see the small paragraphs posted beside the door that the restroom had temporarily been made a female restroom.

Imagine my surprise when I used a restroom, as a man, that had urinals and got kicked out for it.

I'm about the most mild-mannered person you could hope to meet. Horrible treatment by this establishment. That ain't no $1/$2 hold'em I play, but I did win a few hands and it was quite fun. It was pretty regular to see pre-flop raises of $50, and then $75 raises here and there. If you have the balls, you can be part of $400+ pots all told every few hands. Pots are big, so don't expect to limp in and see flops with crappy hands. I found texans to play much more loosely than in New England, and most bring close to $1000 to sit with. The move people around tables, so don't get used to a specific seat at a specific table. But your membership appears to include free food/drink to some extent. Plus, it's $10/hour rake ($20 charged upfront, and balance due upon departure - or refund if you leave early) (all computerized). You have to become a member, which is $20 for a membership card. I felt very comfortable in there for about 2.5 hours. The 'regulars' were friendly and welcoming too. There are about 15 tables in there, and most were Texas Holdem $1/$2 NL. The front desk is very well run and organized. Located in a strip mall, it's a poker room only (not a casino). Traveling here on business I wanted to play some poker and this place was excellent.
