blonde poker forum

Hi Richard (dik9)

I'm hoping to pop over at some point this weekend and register for your Sept' poker tournaments.

Is there a dress code?  Do I need to book a table in the restaurant?

Just to confirm, I can register for my fellow travelling poker mates?  :)


Thanks.

sorry just got in from work!

Yes there is a dress code! No sportswear,ripped jeans, hats. Preferred dress would be smart/ smart casual. It seems to be getting more lax unfortunately. It states that to avoid any chance of dissappointment please avoid wearing jeans and trainers. Although they seem to be quite flexible on this!

No card game friday or saturday though. Sunday is OK 20 NLHE usually about 60-70 runners. Hope to see you there, please introduce yourself, I am the muppet in a tux!

No problem entering your mates.

To avoid any chance of disappointment best to book for restaurant although not normally neccessary.

All the best
Rich

Rich,

I think I'll nip over tomorrow night with the other half.  Maybe increase your blackjack profits  ;)

I'm sure I'll pop over before Sept and play some of those 20 rebuys too.

If you're not there, I assume I can just pay at the cash desk and you or other poker staff don't need to be around for registering?

Thanks.

No Problems, Off  till Sunday Hope you enjoy yourself, good luck! Cash desk can cope....I hope!!!!

I'll be sure to let you know if they can't  ;)

Thanks for your help.

Impressive casino.  The cash desk coped, I even threw in a few questions to try and slip 'em up  ;)

I like the look of your poker area, dik.  Trying to find time to come over for a rebuy tourney.  What is the regular schedule again?

Thanks. 

beer's bloody expensive though!! but the valets sort of make up for that ;)
click the link under dik's name for schedule,
Ian

Ohh yes, thanks Ian.

Just seen the results from some of the earlier £20 rebuys.  How long is the rebuy period?

Hoping to come back on Sunday and give it a try.

Sun, Mon, Tues, Weds £20 NLHE all start at 9.15

Suggest you get there about 8.15 to guarantee seat for Sunday I turned 16 away last Sunday as over max capacity

Rebuy period is 90 mins at a flat ante 25/50 20 min break for food and then a 20 min clock after.

Glad you liked the place, sorry about the price of drinks, there are a few reasons for that.

Cheers

LOL

BOOM BOOM

Nice to meet you last night Richard. 

On the whole I was very impressed and enjoyed the tournament very much, although I'm not a big rebuy fan.  You have a very good card room at Broadway, nice friendly staff, free food and even the locals aren't too grumpy  ;)

See you at festival time.... ohh, can you post the structures for the festival tournaments when you have them?

Thanks.

i'm confused,
is the broadway 'star city'?

No Julian, The Broadway is near Birmingham city centre, just off 5 Ways Island.

Best Regards
Steve

tx hawkeye,
so there are two festivals in brum that week, the £1000 stanleys grand prix on the 7th at star city & a £1000 at the broadway on the 10th?
wow!

4 events starting 7th September
 
7th Weds 8pm
£100 NLHE 1 rebuy or top up
 
8th Thurs 8pm
£500 NLHE 1 rebuy or top up (2 day event)
 
9th Frid 8pm
£300 NLHE 1 rebuy or top up (2 day event)
 
10th Sat 7pm
Main Bracelet Event
£1000 NLHE freezeout
(2 day event)
 
This Festival may compliment the £1000 star city event on the 7th if people wish to stay in the city for a few days.
 
If people wish to book hotels just mail me with your requirements and how much you wish to pay and I will find the best deals for you.

We are nothing to do with "star city" BTW LOL
We are an independent casino, If some of you remember the "old" Rubicons e.g. Coventry, Northamton, Wolverhampton These were owned by Monte Shine. The Broadway and the Shaftesbury are owned by his son Martin Shine. If you old timers remember the "old" Rubicons then you will remember they were very poker orientated. We are situated about 400meters from the Rainbow Casino.

Mr. Moves the £1000 chip structure will be 10,000pts on an hour clock
                     £500 (+1 rebuy) will be 5000pts(10,000) on an hour clock
                     £300 (+1 rebuy) will be 3000pts(6,000) on an hour clock
                     £100(+1 rebuy) will be 2000pts(4000) on a 30/45 min clock

                   (brackets are potential chips with optional rebuy OR top up) STC

If the mini fest works well the next festival will go massive! Advertising wise we are mainly doing it word of mouth. As I believe in the poker community the fire spreads quick. Therefore we rely on good service and facilities. Let the poker players advertise it themselves and if we do not deliver then its our own fault.
BTW we will never charge registration fees whilst I am in charge of the card room, I think its a disgrace to make the players pay, as the whole idea is to bring customers in!! And we supply dealers for ALL games. :o

They are pretty good dealers too.

Don't forget, there is free parking here aswell.  The casino picks up the tab for the underground carpark, which seems very secure to me.  Looking forward to my next visit already.

Are there any plans for a weekly freezeout?  £100 or £200 freeze would be very tempting indeed  8)

Thanks Richard.

Glad you enjoyed your night out, nice meeting you too.

Yes there are plans to go 7 nights with 2 freezeouts £100 on a Thursday and £50 on a saturday. This won't be till after September though. Lets get the festival out of the way and we'll go from there. All depends on the amount of staff we have at the end of September. As I will only have comps where I can supply dealers, this is the reason why we only have 4 a week at the moment. One of these freeze outs may be a shoot out comp.

Regarding parking it is the safest car park in the Midlands and 2nd safest in the UK.

With Thanks

Rich

sounds great, cu there - do normal membership rules apply, if so can i get your fax no?
tx

With Thanks

Rich

  :o not deep! 25/50 blinds?

YEP  STC

what satellites are you running for the festival events please

Wow.10k starting chips, 25/50, 1 hour clock.

COUNT ME IN!

Is it likely to sell out? I am ouit of the UK most of next week, but back Friday night, & really do fancy playing this.

Hopefully it will sell out, but I am not holding my breath, I realistically am looking at 60-80. To be honest I have had loads of interest in it, but only a few have dug up the £1k we are taking registration now at cash desk, card room or by cheque(as long as it is recieved before 1st Sept).
I really do hope it is a success as next year will be fantastic. But I can't tell just at mo. Although people who have been here think it is the best venue around!! Judge for yourself!!!

Sat for the £1000 this Wed(tomorrow) 24th £50 rebuy Super satellite.
Also Friday 2nd sept at the Shaftesbury £50 rebuy Super satellite.
One table sats available sun, mon, tues, weds at 2am

If I come tomorrow, do you think someone will sign me in?

 ::) speak to Malcolm I am sure there will be a regular here that you know ;)

Tom, can you sort me a Membership Form please? I definitely intend to play this. And give me an indication of how ticket sales are gloing, & whether I will need to send them a cheque before Sept 1st please.

Ok

What time is kick off tomorrow Dik?

This all sounds very intriguing. And just down the road for me. Very convenient.

I'll definitley be making somesort of appearance.

Super Sat starts at 9.15 last 2 weds have been poor attendance but I have advertised this one.. that might help LOL.
Pete "the Bandit" Evans won one last week.
Tom...If you turn up with colchester Kev I will give you a free meal.... I love a food fight...you guys make me pmsl!

anyone going to this supersat tonight - any members available to sign a stray such as myself in?

I'm going, I'll try to organise something

thanks Tom.... i mean Mr Red Dog sir... but i have just checked my diary and i am unable to play the event proper on the 10th as its a 2-day comp and i am golfing sunday.  I will definitely play the £500 though in the week.  I have just been on the site and requested a membership form. - looks like it should be a good festival.

I think this is going to be a great festval

Dik has obviously done his homework and is trying hard to give the players what they want, that kind of attitude is always worth supporting

I've heard some good things about the broadway, I'll check it out tonight, hope to see some of you there

I think you will enjoy it Red Dog.

I found it similar to Yogi's setup in Blackpool, which you'll probably know is great too.

I'm tempted about the satellite tonight myself.  Mrs Moves might file for divorce though  ::)

Hello,

Can someone please sign me in tonight?

Pretty please.

thanks

In the end there were 18 players with 2 seats guaranteed as the broadway made up about £300 shortfall.

The standard was fairly soft but there wasn't to many re buys (0 for me).

Found Ak in the BB early on final table and lost a quarter of my stack to the small stack with K10. Then busted out defending the blinds with A9 v AJ having passed and passed and getting a bit short stacked.

Red - dog lasted a while longer and ran into AA with his all in AK out in about 5th i think.

Will probably attend the next one.

What can I say about the Broadway casino, I think Wow is the right word, this place is big, and its very classy, there are two dining areas, two bars, a huge gaming floor and a raised and railed card room, there is also a TV lounge and a lovely circular arrangement of comfy chairs around an open fire, there was also a small stage, a dance floor and a grand piano, the decor was plush, understated and tasteful, the sort of place you would like to take your wife (Or someone else's) to

What did I like, The layout, plenty of room, the staff, very friendly and helpfull, the food, excellent, and free during the break, the dealers, fast efficient and competent, the parking, safe and free, and the comps have no regestration fees

what didnt I like, the fact that I was charged £1.20 for a small glass of coke because I was silly enough to go and get it myself, If I had let the valet get it it would have been free, I dont mind the £1.20, but it seems a siily concept

All in all, I loved it, I just couldn't understand why there were only 18 runners, I think we should organise a blonde raiding party

And it was great to meet ACE2MOUTH, Tom (great name) he's a really nice guy

Nice meeting you Red-Dog and ACE2MOUTH, Glad you liked the place, please spread the word :)

Glad to announce Golden Anal got his seat tonight. Go on the Mob. ;D

Only 18?  I really should of gone.

Any satellies coming up for the main event, dik9?

And of course it was great to meet the legendary Red Dog, a true gent as i assumed he would be.

Lovely place, nice atmosphere on the tables.

DIK9 doing an excellent job.

Cheers ACE2MOUTH !
18 Runners.... Very disappointed myself!
Next Super satellite  is for £500 event next Wednesday (£25 rebuy)
Every night we do card room we advertise a 1 table sat to start at 2am
Please could all the local players (and not so local) give the Broadway festival your support, because if it is successful this year, next year will be a huge event.
Thanks All 

i will definetly be interested in going to the next one if anybody is up for it.
 i couldnt attend last night as i was busy watching the mighty gunners destroy fulham.
who is going next wednesday then?

I will probably go, but wednesday night is pool night so i may have to turn out for the team after last nights absence.

There should be a few more runners for that sat i reckon and probably a few more seats up for grabs.

so Mr Grainger stole one seat, who got the other?

Can someone put names to the faces of the winners last night as i didn't catch anyones names.

Mr Grainger (i assume thats golden anal) What does he look like?

well..........biggish bloke, ginger hair short, can be a bit loud lol

I know who you mean. Thats who i thought it was, terrible arse.....   An intresting tactic for breaking the opposition concentration!!!!

Roger Brush

NO!! i bet he had 10 rebuys ;D
I can never work out if he's a good player or a terrible one ???
He once spent £475 in a £25 rebuy satelite for a £500 comp at walsall and then had to buyin anyway lol

Terrible Arse was ROGER BRUSH seats went to John Hokins and Glyn Rees

Ahh Golden anal, thought it was ginger anal. Glyn is a really funny bloke, topman.
That bloody john Hopkins is on fire!!

Forgive my ignorance can you describe messers rees and hopkins for me?

Rees was the bloke who took you out, John was the quiet bloke is seat 3

Thanks. All is clear.

ah good old Roger lol still the same the huh, Remember when i first started in cardroom he hated me for some reason (probably same reason everyone else does now lol) then all of a sudden we got on fine lol. Good character but can be a little too much at times.

Glyn  Rees?? Blonde short hair? hangs around with I Know IT???

and which Hopkins is which?? lol

Sunday 4th of September is the next Satellite for the 1k main event, I reckon I might have to try my luck! Anyone else fancy this?

so rogers found his way to broadway. i concur with u dik. hes one player i hope u keep.
