Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

I had a meeting in Soho Square today, & decided to have a wander round.

This bland & anonymous building is, believe it or not, the Headquarters of the FA.

[Royal Flush]

I was not on the windup, i cannot believe how a forum full of people who play a mental/mathematical can't get this!!

I am posting no more on the matter as i will probably launch into someone for being so stupid and get barred, i suffer from severe dyslexia and find it hard to communicate in text so i will do my best to see if i can explain to Tikay how they already take money from the prize pool tomorrow in luton

Soho Square surrounds a little island of green tranquility called Soho Square Gardens.

This folly, very much more interesting than the FA Headquarters 50 yards away, is, amazingly, functional. It's the Gardeners Shed! And I had a peek inside, to check if it was true. And it was.

London's little curiosities fascinate me.

You will fail!

Prize Pool is our money. It's the aggregate total of the Buy-Ins. It's ours. All of it.

Reg Fee is what we pay on top, to cover costs, exs, admin, whatever. It's not ours. It's not part of the Prize Fund. We have no claim on it.

[ x ] That's all.

This rather poor Statue - Of Charles somebody I think - sits in Soho Square Gardens.

Note the unusual zip-fly arrangement.

One has yet to decide if one wishes to discuss it tomorrow.

This is my train set, & I make the rules.

See you tomorrowz Mr Plumpy.

i think there is one major difference in casinos being allowed to take deductions from the pool, expenses ,if they add 10% to the entry fee ,no problem everyone knows where they stand, what happens if its a small turn out ,would it possible for them to  now deduct a larger % , in other words they may claim in the future it costs £300 for the casino to run a comp regular, if 150 people turn up and paid an entry of $200 ,the pool would be £3000, 10% would be £300 which covers expenses which is no different from paying a fee, i  am wondering if only 100 turn up they would still deduct £300 but the pool is only £2000 a £300 deduction would now be 15%,
i imagine you could get a lot worse deductions than this if the casino can justify it is to cover expenses ,i assume it could be anything up to 27%, dont know for sure though

This is a different, but interesting angle.

FWIW, I don't think Venues make much, if anything at all, from running Poker Tourneys - they rely on money migrating to the House Games.

And once the Accountants, with their almost universally narrow-vsion, latch onto that, they'll love the fact that they have, by precadent, now established the right to dilute as much from the Prize Pool as they see fit. Now, if they were required to add, let's say, a 30% Reg Fee, we'd all be up in arms. But if they said "we take 30% from the Prize Pool", you might never know......

By the way, I politely wrote to Grosvenor Walsall & requsted that they should desist fom calling their Monthly Tourney a £200 Freezeout. It's not. It's a £180 Freezeout. So I know that if it makes 100 runners (we wish!), the Prize Pool will be £18,000.

I went into a pub in Soho with Benjo at the weekend after eating two pigs and a cow at Bodines. There wasn't one woman in there and most of the punters looked like Right Said Fred, yet Dana assures me it isn't a gay pub.

Times have changed since we were lads, eh tikay?
