Me and the missus are flying out there on thursday, staying at the al hamra fort, it ill be hot, just hope the drinks are cold. Have a look at virgin holidays, they do some decent deals.

me Ma loves me thats who....

Prehaps it was the way you said, I wasn't trying to ridicule anyone, but it looked rather singular. "this is a big problem on gutshot sight and one of the reasons i dont play it anymore"

Its a huge problem on ALL online sites and it not easy to deal with.

But like you say, who cares?

my own thoughts on this and i stress they are only my own thoughts is that they were 2 mates putting there chips together so theres a better chance of one of them getting a ticket.

this is a big problem on gutshot sight and one of the reasons i dont play it anymore. i have seen with my own eyes upto 6/7 players all sitting next to each other in there internet room at the club playing as a team relaying hands and information to each other.

this may or may not be the case here but certainly by the way you've put it somethings not right!

2nd paragraph matey!

I have seen this type play on 4 other poker sites so to intimate its a Gutshot only problem is frankly absurd. Practically every poker club in London has modelled itself on Gutshot, including the introduction of Internet Cafe terminals, and by the very nature of Internet Cafes collusion is very easy to achieve while almost impossible to police.

Couple this with IRC chat programs (msn etc) and VOIP and collusion while playing online poker is easier then folding aces in the first hand of the WSOP main event with 3 all ins before you.

I accept everyone has an opinion but to single one cardroom out for it is just Gutshot bashing.

I'd love to know what sites you play on now because I can guarantee you there is collusion there as well.

IMHO.

There were 2 main reasons Gutshot did not apply for a Gaming licence and these were:

1. The location of the Club, currently it is not permitted to operate a casino in Islington
2. Gutshot is a poker venue and not a casino and when the Gaming Board were approached in regards to licencing a poker only venue, it was flatly rejected. When the Club opened the Gaming Board, council and police were all invited to visited the Club.

As for DTD, Rob has already stated he was hoping Gutshot won their case as this would have had a huge impact on the direction is venture would take. His final hearing is on the 25th Jan and I wish him all the best for that, I don't think the Gaming Board wil lrubber stamp his application because it has gone about it the right way!

Will be interesting to see if the venue opens a couple of BlackJack tables, might be the only way to ensure it breaks even or makes a profit.

Read the small print and you will find that if you go over your monthly limit you will be billed a tidy fortune, something in the region of the Gross National Debt of a South American Country....
