Such sad news. and what a very brave and beautiful little girl. My thoughts are with you and your family Vince...Nina.xxx

Great news that dtd will not be closing its doors. I have been there myself and loved it. All the best rob...from all at the G Luton.

hello all.
I am on a weeks holiday at the moment and it has been quite depressing reading what everyone has to say about Luton.
I cant even defend it at the moment either.[which is what i allways do i know] the point is most of the things you are saying are valid.
As most of you know Sunday will be Alister's last day and i for one will miss him.I have spoke to Carmel about replacing him and i as yet do not know who this will be, but it will be someone from outside.
I as you know am only part time as this suits my personal life and this will not change.I have asked for someone with far more knowledge of running a cardroom than me, because there are many things that need to be sorted.
As for the HU tourney on Sunday as i understand it..........the draw will take place on the day and work like a pyramid

           

                     

                      i hope this sorts of makes sense.If your opponent is not in on the day then you will automatically win that round and go on to the next player who is next to you in the pyramid.

As for the MONEY i know that the casino is adding around 6 thousand pounds so the players contribution was around 24 thousand.EVERY PLAYER THAT HAS QUALIFIED WINS AT LEAST £50.

I have a lot to do when i get back and i know it is going to be hard going for a while but things will get better i promise please don't give up on us just yet.I am only still there for you [it`s definatly not the money] i look forward to going to work, just because the players are some of the nicest guys and gals that you could ever wish to meet.

Keeping the faith and looking forward to my return love ya lots Nina.xx 

State of the art casino, £6m spent on it only six months ago

Get cameras that cover every table!!!


Sigh.

YES PLEASE WOULD LOVE A CAMERA ON EVERY TABLE, WOULD MAKE MY LIFE MUCH EASIER.
I WILL LET YOU PUT THAT ONE TO MARTIN............best of luck........

At any G or grosvenor we are not allowed at present to open a new table.No player who has come out of a comp can re-enter the same comp as an alternate even if there are seats.

I have played in a few Alternates and can say this...

they were all 10 player games, so made it a little easier...

1st time played...  started the game....  6 tables full and 2 tables of 9....  therefore 2 empty seats...  Alternate open only for the first hour...  So...  1st person arrived, pays his money, and gets a seat....  2nd person, same.....  3rd person, he now has to wait for a seat when someone loses their chips...  that loser leaves his seat, and alternate 3 gets it...  The loser, if he wants to, becomes the first person after the next out...  The loser does not keep his seat and pay just like a rebuy...  One difference to this rule is...  If nobody is waiting and someone goes out...  He can stay where he is...

If another 9 players suddenly arrive and there are 10 waiting...  Another table is opened...  Not for any less than a full table, because, if 5 were on 1 table and 10 on the other 6 tables..  not fair..  No pulling people of other tables to make them 9 player tables etc...  ONLY add a new table if there is enough players to fill it completely...

So, although some people think there is a more sensible way of doing the alternates, you are not supposed to do it any other way than I explained..

 

lol.  you are right it is not rocket science, but unlike in the states where they have rockets and a very good camera view of all tables and players at all times ( i have seen a camera check in the Luxor) we on the other hand DO NOT.
This is my fear, that allthough 99% of our players are very trustworthy, chips however do go missing from other players stacks and we are unable to see well enough as to where or who has them. So having these unattended chips on all the tables would have to be looked into, but as with anything you guys suggest i am always more than happy to pass this on.

see ya soon Nina.x

We put the notice up before we went home ready for today.

thankyou nick for your feedback, you are right in what you say and with hindsight i would never set up 11 handed but the TD done what he thought was best at the time.Guideline 3 has gone but headoffice has not and we are set rules that are sometimes hard to run the room on, as they fail to add common sense.

A NOTICE WAS PUT UP LAST NIGHT ON THE DESK SHOWING THE REGISTRATION CLOSE TIME.

i WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY THANKYOU TO THOSE PEOPLE WHO OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BY THE RULE CHANGES, AND HAVE HUNG AROUND TO HOPEFULLY GET A SEAT AND I PROMISE IT WILL GET BETTER.

MANY THANKS LUV NINA.XXXXXXXXXX

These rules are new and we are learning more each day.It is however difficult to keep everyone happy.Do we start with 5/6 to a table,so we can add alternates as they arrive but make the players that are seated play short handed, or do we start with 7/8 to a table so the players still get a decent game and have a small number of seats available.
I am asking for your opinion as to which you would prefere if you are there on time and playing.


ALL THE COMPERTITIONS REGISRATIONS NOW CLOSE 10 MINUTES BEFORE THE START TIME, EVEN IF YOU ARE QUEUEING TO ENTER.

 

[cannot]

with late entries once the number of tables is sorted out at the start they can add players to those tables but they cannot add more tables

once they decided to player 3 tables of 8 rather than 4 tables of 6 they cannot pull players off a table to add more players

they cannot even add another table if there are 11 players waiting to join as alternates

this is incorrect. On Sat 1st September they created a new table of 8 during the first level.

No it is correct, the only reason a table was opened that day is because it was the first day of the new rules, and a gaming manager (non cardroom) made the decision to open the table.It is a lot easier to explain to the GM that you have broken the rules on day 1.It is much harder now.

wow howdedoodee

hi to all the new players that are comming up for the weekend.
Please take note of the dress code for the g casino. NO TRAINERS, NO RIPPED JEANS, NO HOODS AND NO SPORTS TOPS i would hate for you to go through the hassle of registering and are then turned away because of what you are wearing.

see ya soon luv Nina.xx  

A very sad day, Poker Pete will be sadly missed in Luton. RIP
