Texas hold-up?

Per the Washington Post, in mid November it seems that Ppl just love poker. A man sent out several evites to poker players to his home to play " Texas hold-um". He may have said black tie, but what he got instead was black ski masks. 2 Crooks crashed his hold-um party and robbed everyone. It seems you just can't go online, invite 50-100 strangers to your home to play poker, and just expect to have fun. What's the world coming to? By the way this happened in Virginia. I wanna know....when's the next poker game? I'll bring my videocamera.
