The Cincinnati Club

[cambo]

" i know if played in scotland i would deff not play there again" why cos DC lost money? this is what i dont get - i dont know DC personally ive sat at a table with him once or twice and i only know the owners to say hi too , but what has the problems between them got to do with a local player like me? ...nothing , so i dont really see why i should stop playing there. if DC has lost money thats pretty shit and he would probaly brought something th the club given time but to stop playing there myself doesnt make sence to me.

whats the other options- play at the riverboat where collsion is rife and all sorts of teams working? i dont think so

what do u mean by not keeping up with the times?

dave said he wanted to upgrade the club ,had littlewoods putting computers in .
this would then bring in rake which would then be forwarded on to the players (freeroles ect ).
better facilaties ,better bigger feilds ,you must admit if you have got a chance to play on the same table as some one as daves colibre ,you would turn up to give it a shot .thats what is now missing .

I think a forum is a great place to air one's views. If a person/club dont like that tough shit, either ignore it or prove them wrong.

So if someone accused me of doing something, it is up to me to prove them wrong?

That's nonsense.

It's up to the person making the allegations to prove it. The person being accussed doesn't have to say or do anything

'ignore it' or 'prove them wrong'.  Friends of the accused coming on with half backed stories only make it look worse, I think thou protests too much m'lord seems apt.

If someone misrepresents a situation (pure lies) then they should express their side of the story or ignore it.

Just like the law they have to accept it or prove it is a lie, I was only stating the law. If you agree with it or not thats irrelevant.

yeh right carry on ,im not getting in to no slanging match obviosley youv got some thing to do with the club gl to you .
this is a forum where people have there say , youv said yours all along .

u still didnt answer any of my questions- if you have a quick look on the live poker board and look at the cincin page u will see the games there and i think ull find theres no comparison to where you play live and cincins for the buyin -structure -amount of chips  you get for ur money etc. ive already said with DCs proflie in the game it would have added something to the club but hes not here now so what do we do-stop playing there?

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

  ok forget it..lol

[wsopin07]

OK, here is the deal.

The fact that Dave Colcough is not involved takes away any opportunity that The poker club will ever be anything special!!!!!!!

I was at the club and thought it had great potential, and when I was there the staff was great ( Sid, Damon, etc)

The reason Dave posted, in my opinion, was to clear the air and lift the "bad memories" from his mind.

Dave is a good friend but at the end of the day u don't turn a " European hall of fame" poker player away by not coming through w/ what u promise. I don't want to hear there are 2 sides, I was around Dave and speaking to him a lot when this deal started and he was very excited about it. Could u ever imagine Devilfish, Surindar, or any other "hall of fame" player putting that much time and money into running a "small" poker room.

Final point!           Dave trusted people, a few did him wrong, it is impossible to replace what Dave was willing to do for them, and the owners that broke those commitments to Dave and the club are the ones that should answer the questions about the lack of success in the club.

Not trying to knock anyone, just trying to state my thoughts on the subject.

ok forget it..lol

cambo theres no point in trying to tell these ppl.

half of them have never been in cin cins. but along with the ppl that have they dont understand what DCs problems with Tony C and sid has to do with us

[elblondie]

Just to give my tuppence worth
a) I am not advocating that anyone boycotts the club. If you want to play there, good luck to you. I couldn't care less and I certainly dont hold it against anyone.
b) The primary reason for the post was to explain the reason why I was forced to leave the Club. A lot of people felt i had 'deserted the club'. I wanted to point out that wasn't the case. At the time, I wanted to make the club a success but obviously couldn't do so if I couldn't trust the other partners. I feel i was forced away from the club and it was only fair to myself to air all the facts. I don't think anyone person who has posted on this thread would have continued to work for free, not claim expenses, promote the club, try and organise deals etc, if they were in my situation.
c) Before this thread, no-one knew the reasons for my departure. Surely everyone appreciates being told what went on, even if it was from my point of view.

Personally I am now done with this thread. You have the facts. I've justified my departure and I'm done with it.

Sorry I misread your post.

I thought you were saying that someone could accuse you of something and if you don't prove them wrong you must be guilty.

I realise that is not what you meant.

I don't know what the story is behind all this. I do not know either party involved so I have no reason to believe or dis-believe this story.

I was just making a general point about accussations on messageboards after I (mis) read your post.

[johnlarsson]

Don't take it wrong way big yin.

You done a grand job as caretaker TD in between all the in betweens, but it was never going to be permanent,as you have other commitments...by the way how is the paper round?

See you tonight for the £40 DC

[bhoywonder]

i'll keep playing there......always liked it,probably always will....

met a whole bunch of characters...good ,bad and ugly...even seen DC there once ( I was well starstruck )

who could have foretold that all those years ago when watching late night poker..when the only action I had was 3 card brag on a friday night ( I didnt even know there were poker clubs )...I would be playing cards in the same room as him

now if only i could get some money from the buggering place,that would be the icing on the cake.......lol

i may be -ev from the place but im + in the fun/entertainment factor
