Card room supervisor at Cardiff, who changed the ante structure twice last night (at the request of the players) to allow more play.
Sean has now been inducted into my Grovesnor Supervisor Hall of Fame, and is a serious contender for a spot in the top 3.

Sounds like a weak TD to me, caving in to players twice is either a product of poor tournament management and organisation or he's just keeping the people with deep pockets happy.
I would be impressed if he set a precedence within the chain to have all tourneys with a good playable structure not caving in to player pressure on a night during a tourney!

Seriously though guys, thanks for your hospitality. We had a great time, and we hope to be back next weekend for your £500 double chance freeze.

Thanks for your oppinion regarding a person you have never met, a situation you have no knowledge of. and a tournament you didn't attend.
I'll let you know the next time I want to thank someone, perhaps you can have your bucket of cold water ready.

Given the very brief facts that you gave, Tom, Billy has a valid point (and is free to express him opinion on an open forum) It's great that TD's are listening to players, that is NEVER a bad thing. Lets hope that one day the players DON'T have to kick up a fuss to get a decent tourney.

I deliberately left the details out. It was a simple thank you note.
Why do people need to immediately follow anything positive with a negative. This guy is only guilty of trying to be helpful. and yet someone who doesn't know the situation feels free to accuse him of being a "Weak TD" and use language like "Keeping players with deep pockets happy"
Yes, he is free to express his opinion, you yours, I would never argue with that. It just makes me sad that even a simple thank you thread is used to make hurtfull and disparaging remarks about someone's ability and integrity.

Maybe a simple thank you note would prove more personal and less likely to receive unwanted comments, if they weren't posted on an open forum. Doing such allows ANY reader to post whatever response they feel fit.
I simply pointed out that Billy had a valid comment to make (I quite agree with him on the limited info, but may have worded it differently lol)

There was no fuss, just a simple request.
