IS  the new nuts?  Never seen so many players that are meant to be up there or meant to  know how to play calling off or getting it in bad and getting out of jail, games seems to be getting stupid, moan over, may some clueless idiot win it!!!!

not a rival game as a business a home game with mates why the wife was expecting my 4th and not aloud out much but all blown out of perportion and local scumbags stirring trouble. but hey thats poker plenty more places were they are happy to have players and happy to look after us all properly

Well i think there is a much bigger point here and it has nothing to do with any of the players or what they should have done, or weather it is Ali who we all know and like it has much more to do with the way we are treated as people not just poker players by this massive company that has no clue of how to treat people.

1. we turn up for comps that are on the whole poorly run with some rules that are chopped and changed and rulings that are often incorrect/unfair or dam right stupid.

WE STILL PLAY

2. we pay juice on every comp and don't always receive half the standard things which should go hand and hand with this self deal , old tatty tables , poor lighting, etc.

WE STILL PLAY

3. if we have a problem or would like an input it is mostly met with an unfriendly or unhelpful reception.

WE STILL PLAY

I think it is long overdue as players we need a proper national set of rules/guidelines and player representative that police the competions for both sides of the felt players and cardrooms alike that are both knowledgeable and have a proper understanding of poker and how to deal with disputes fairly and sensibly.As long as we carry on handing over are money to this massive company and getting treated like mugs we will carry on being treated as the mugs we are.This is a company that when they decide to bar you that they send you a 4 line letter telling you that you are no longer welcome with no reason as to why. To try and get back into this company is not the easiest of things but really when you look about at the other casino companies and poker rooms were would you rather be a place that you  always feel that they don't really give a shit about you or a place you like and enjoy playing poker in the Stanley's and London clubs group of companies for starters. I think my money now is always on the other side now after the way i have been dealt with and also the feeling that to get back in takes a serious amount of groveling but for what badly run comps buy a company that will **** you as soon as look at you. OK the GUKPT looks great but lets wait for the reality and then judge. Many thanks to all that have tried to help get my bar lifted but after my good old chat with the lovely John Butler of Rank Leisure i think my days of playing in the Grosvenor's are done. Well good luck to the rest of you but don't step out of the very varying rules that they like to implement because it could be you next.

hi all just following the wpt coverage and finding it a very good read and am sick not to be there, but the next couple of weeks is dear enough. The site has become the best place to follow/findout/read/ask/gain advice on so many things and i think every ones inputs are great and think that the blondites should be really proud to have made this site the place that poker is fixed round. Just think it was time to say that i think for an old boy tikay hasnt done a bad job. see you all at the vic next week
