Two reasons why we do not Guarantee!
1st reason is that if we guarantee £5000 Grosvenor will guarantee £6000 and so on. As J10 is only a recognized as a card room not really recognized as a casino. (meaning reputation) So head office at Grosvenor need to fight to keep the card room busy.
2nd reason is that we pride ourselves on the service and facilities that we can offer.
We regularly add to competitions, we don't charge reg fees and we supply dealers for ALL games. Pleasant enviroment and pleasant staff. Altogether more value IMO As Guarantees are only made by card rooms when they know they will make them, an exeption to this is THE SHAFTESBURY casino (our sister club) west brom. Who do an uncondtitional Guarantee of £2000 and regularly add e.g. added £1200 to an 18 entry comp. Still added £900 the next week etc. As the regular comps are hitting the £5k mark anyway with a max field of 80, you can go down to Grosvenor and play a Guaranteed tourny (£5k) that makes £6000 but you have to play 110 players. Take your choice, i have noticed players on here use statistics a lot, implying intelligence. I urge you to way up where the value is Odds may change a little after the festival as we will be perminantly keeping the additional 2 tables to make ie a 110 seater with a lot of room to expand even more, to the point where we may have 2 seperate card rooms!
I will reitterate a previous point, Walsall is and will be clutching at straws in 6 mths time unless they do something radical. Including a lot of underhandedness, which has already been shown. But we will do our thing regardless of J10's attempts to mess us up. And we will not be godded into a battle with them. We will just continue the way we are and let people choose themselves where they want to go. This is all fantastic for Central uk poker players as poker has returned to Birmingham in a big way, not seen since the Rainbow was a recognized card room all over the world!
You are right Yogi- watch the Guarantees pop up ! I predict a guarantee on Fridays next!! As that will be our next night on our programme.
Bluewolf- that was there policy,AFTER the rainbow shut its card room and they had the monopoly and they have lost a lot of custom.....wait till their league finishes
. I already know Dani had something big planned during that week, but Head office thinks Grand Prix satellite on the 7th takes priority. Looking forward to the delights of their September Programme as somethings brewing me thinks!
