POKER CLUB CLOSED

[ifm]

Put yourself in the shoes of someone who has simply offered some goods for sale which might be of interest to folk here. They have no need to give an history of the whys and wherefores that things have become available.

What if pokernitz had closed because someone nicked all their equipment?

[KingPoker]

Valid point, Pokerron, and yes, I do have a sense of humour.  I just felt KingPoker was pushing and stirring unnecessarily so. I may have done a Tikay "misread".

How was i stirring?

I just spoke up because the original starter of this post started having a go at everyone!

[Harmony26]

That's exactly why I went on  to say questions could/would be asked between purchaser and seller.  A valid point wondering where the goods had come from in case they had been obtained illegally.  However, if you read this thread it was obvious that Tighty knew the people and the venue concerned.

Exactly the way every thread should go!

may i ask. Did you charge to play in your club? if so its illegal and no one can moan.

didn't see anyone moaning, from the club at least

I don't know why flushy has his knickers in a twist about "illegal" clubs. Maybe he's good friends with people in the casino industry?? The way I see it is we play poker, a bit of competition must be a good thing.

I didn't see flushy say haha to DC when he lost 25K investing in an "illegal" club.

To me it's like saying ZOMGWTF you went 1mph over the speed limit, that's illegal!

[Harmony26]

The above for a start...

If you read the thread, sure there was banter, there were also allusions and assumptions to illegalities... basically it is understandable that maybe the originator was miffed with the responses.  It could be a bad day for them.  I just felt there was no need to pursue the whole business unless you were going to purchase items..

The originator has given a response and let's leave it at that.

Let's agree to differ.

I cant agree to disagree coz i wasnt stirring, other people made the jokes and allegations and i came in after all that so can be discounted from that.

I agreed with flushy about it being illegally run! Thats it!

And its again hard to feel sorry even if you take out the bits about the original poster being snappy, then all you have is a non-regualr poster who has brought nothing to the forum doing some free advertising!

page 1 it was a poker club, page 2 it was a home game, and king poker is right, almost all the posters previous posts have related to the club/homegame.

blonde is supposed to be a flame free zone but the occassional sly back-hander still occassionally gets thrown.

[Harmony26]

KingPoker, I appreciate that they have not been an active member of the forum but the venue was known by Blonde and an article had been written about them when they opened.

Personally I couldn't give a stuff whether it was a legal or illegal poker club. All I'm interested is whether I can pick up a bargin and have made an initial enquiry via PM.

[AdamM]

certainly looks like a business from the article.

[TightEnd]

guys lets keep it cool please


I know Donna and Allan who ran the club well enough from playing regularly against them both. Very good players both. I only asked the question as I was interested, being involved in the business of poker as I am these days. No axe to grind. Next time I see them I will ask face to face as requested

[Mango99]

Aren't the Gutshot and The Weston illegal poker clubs, and almost every other poker club in the uk?

I think it's always sad to see a popular and well-liked poker club close, regardless of it's legality.
