well let me say 1st of all , that the tournaments are not self deal , neither are the 50-1 games n higher, the only self dealt game is 25-50 , which also gives the lower stakes players a chance to play and all for the price of £2.50 an hour, even the vic in london has self dealt games at 50-1 n they charge £6 an hour.so if u think the best card room in the country for the last 20 years is backwards having self dealt games then maltings is in fine company

woodsey  :  location maybe terrible for u but judging by how busy the club has been when i visited , i'd say its in a good location for alot of players

dik9:   as for paying GGY, theres a contact us page on the link i posted earlier if u want to know wot htey do or do not pay maybe worth giving them a call n speak to the card room manager

My original intention with posting the details was to let players know there are other options and places to play, up until recently i had no option but to travel the 2+ hours , i have no idea where u all live and how many other players would like an opportunity to place closer to home like myself , so i posted the information i know , anything else then i suggest contact the club


I will say one final time for those whose seem to be missing it in my previous posts
I AM HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH  MANAGEMENT OR OWNERSHIP OF THE MALTINGS POKER ROOM

why on earth would i have a gaming license ? , like i said im a poker player and am not involved in the owning or management club
its just local to me and i've played there a few times and they treat their customers better than any othr cardroom ive ever been in, and ive played in many clubs , living in USA for 10 years n played many of those years in the big venues in Vegas , and still this card room has treated me the best out of any.

but yes they do have a  license and everything is above board

The Maltings has also done things properly and considering the are different areas of the UK i dont see how there isnt room for more than 1 poker room in the UK , i would have to travel for over 2 hours to play at DTD but i can be at The Maltings in 45 minutes....i still use both rooms depending on whether i can be away for a full weekend or just want to travel locally.

ill tell u another thing the atmosphere of a the club is fantastic i am treated very well n recommend closed minded people to go there before writing it off.

I personally think its a great thing that places are starting to open, players too far south or north to travel DTD will hopefully soon have options to play live instead of all online

The Maltings isnt anything im involved with or linked to just a poker room i've been to recently, all above board, great friendly place to play, just tell em jason sent you,

its a new place only been open a couple of weeks n alot closer to me than nottingham, for sayin its only been running a few weeks games are usually running from open 'til close

  Rob is in the unfortunate position of being the only licensed poker club in the UK and as such has been branded into the casino categary.
I would again be seeking legal / accountancy advice and consider challenging this position.

I am sure Rob will be looking at all his options and I have high hopes of him finding a soloution.

theres also the new poker room in Kings Lynn called The Maltings
