Title: I've got a new job Post by: AlrightJack on December 08, 2008, 04:22:20 PM I've been at Blue Square for over ten years and I'm not exactly leaving the company, but today I have started a new position in another Rank owned company. From today my new role will be that of poker host at the Vic. However, I will still be working on the GUKPT as well and will continue to work with my colleagues at Blue Square, but largely I will focus on being the poker host at the Vic.
So, what does the new job entail. Well, it will involve all manner of things, but will largely it will be a player liaison role, with emphasis on cash game players, whose needs and wishes I will do my best to fulfill (nothing smutty obviously, but thought I'd better make that quite clear before the usual suspects add their double entendres to this thread). I will ultimately get involved in many diferent aspects of the room, so please feel free to PM me any suggestions or requests regarding anything to do with poker at the Vic. Over the next two weeks I will be getting to know the place and the customers better, so please don't bombard me with lists of what you think is good or bad just yet. There will be time for that later, but for now I just want to let eveyone know about my new role.
