Broadway is a joke always has been always will be,(unless they change whos is running it all) from the non existent floor people that cant make rulings to the hideous under trained dealers, they cant organise any big events and are an embarrassment to the birmingham poker scene.

This should be the premier place in birmingham for comps and a variety of cash games for all levels from £1/1 to £25/50 comps from a tenner upto £100 regular
But no-one there has got a clue how to run a card room and more importantly a profit making card room. which they are so desperate for.

I havent been there since they let a regular player cheat and didnt say a word to him, me and and another were waiting for a ruling at showdown because of the lack of knowledge from the dealer (surprise, surprise) while we are waiting this player mucks our hands and the flop and tells the dealer to get on with it !
and the dealers does excactly that, i was shocked to the core

if that was a big comp i would of smashed a chair in his face, the floor came over and listened to my complaint and said nothing about it, and they wonder why players wont go there to play a grand comp

do yourselves a favour broadway, get some one in there that knows what they are doin


So where do you play in Birmingham that is dealer dealt and better than the Broadway ?  Granted this was a total fuck up, and given the low turnouts they tend to get for their festivals I don't know why they bother any more but do you really think Gala, Star City, or The Rainbow are better ?

Walsall Grosvenor is a better cardroom. Most of what galos says is effectively true about the standards of dealing and rules inconsistency etc...a nice casino though and Friday nights is still the best comp in the area.

Friday nights have slipped a lot and it doesn't often get more than 85 runners and make more than £5k these days.  Used to get 110 and regularly make £8.5k+.  High water mark was 152 runners and around 13k.  Sign of the times (and the DTD factor) that numbers are down.  The other venues in Birmingham don't seem to be doing any better though.  They are still getting big numbers (140+) for the Saturday and Monday comps though.

To be fair, when DTD had the big overlay recently many of us locals were telling the DTD staff to some of the spare dealers in and give them a cut, I don't think many of us would have had a problem with that as its already cost Rob a lot of cash to set the place up. I guess maybe people feel a bit differently because its a casino and they spend their lives relieving us of out hard earned cash.

What's the difference though? DTD have plenty of fruities and some roulette machines now which is basically the same as casino house games.

Both are owned by individuals too.

No one's stupid. I'm sure they fed some people in anyway. The main point was the comp was supposed to start at 7pm and we didn't kick off until 8.30!!! And suddenly the entries go from 27 to 42 in 2 mins.
