I would like Dusk till Dawn to be granted a licence as it would create jobs, regenerate the area and offer a different alternative to casinos for customers with in the poker community.

Figure its about time to throw a spanner in the works.

The poll has been prepared with incomplete information and is bound to provide a skewed result. The options available were limited ie do you want 30% or 40% and the baseline is restricted to a 100 runner comp.

What payout do you propose for 70 runners or 140 or 190 or 250 etc.etc.

My point in suggesting the use of a tried and tested formula (Tex's TEARS) is that you can have a spreadsheet which is ready made to cover most eventualities.

It would appear to be fair the standard split on a 100 runner comp is not that far removed from what the 'majority' want.

I have heard it argued that the Americans have a distinct advantage over the Brits since they are used to playing out comps to win, rather than dealing 5 ways. Since this structure is commonly used in the States, I can only presume that it facilitates playing out for the prizes.

Why do we need to re-invent the wheel here, I cannot recall too many UK players bemoaning the payouts in American comps.

The formula exists, somebody else has done the hard work, why can't we just adopt it.

But having after looking info at the Tex Morgan website, he will supply his software free of charge as long as the person who is buying it pays his representatives airfare and expenses to install and explain it. In a world of increasing competition it will be a brave cardroom supervisor/manager who suggests that to the big bosses. Maybe the new 'Cardroom Magic' software may herald a new era. Perhaps someone from Wallsall could comment?

nope aberdeen has always had over £1k for 30-44 runners when i have been there and only ever pay top 3

as long as the payout structure is advertised in advance then the casino's can pay out how they like (as long as they pay out a total off 100% of the money)[/font]

Well you be surprised to know we tried that and the players still want to do the deal to change the adverised structure. I understand that it's not really the casino's money but what is the point of having a prize structure if every week the players ask to change it to suit the situation. You simply can't please everybody all of the time. What would happen if a was struck deal on one structure one week when there was only 5 players and the week after, the structure was changed to suit 7 players. If that was me, I'd be piissed off. Casino prize structures are the to ensure conformity.

If  most of the players could agree on a single or a range of prize structures to suit most comps (even the low stake games) it would make my job alot easier.

About what we discussed last week about the likelyhood of 20-30 players joining the Friday game after your charity sheild. I am unable to close the restaurant that evening to accomodate a larger poker game as we already have bookings for that night. Nobody more disappointed than me I assure you.

 However I've looked at the attendance (poker) figures for Fridays and the average is 50 over the past 2 months so it's likely that you will get a fair number of seats.

I'm not at work for the next few weeks so if you need to contact me or if I can help in any other way, just post a message and I'll get back to you.

Once again I apologise
