One more vote for Dusk Till Dawn, The poker club will be well run and good for the midlands, the casinos in Birmingham are full to the max and theres a real need for a club like this. Stu Fox Birmingham

I would like to play in Dusk Till Dawn....for many reasons
1/ don't like the casino environment because
- they don't treat the poker players well
- they don't train properly their dealers for that game
- the card rooms are always too small
2/ Dusk Till Dawn being only a card room will understand the need of the players
- good tournaments
- good rulings
- good staff
- good atmosphere
3/ Dusk Till Dawn is what British have been waiting for ages

I would like to play at Dusk Till Dawn because.
Being a poker player since 1999 I know DTD can offer me the following
A Honest Dealer dealt cash game available whenever the business is open
without pressure to tip other players for dealing. I find it impossible to get a
house dealt cash game before midnight I'm a working family man and
casinos cannot offer a dealer dealt cash game at 6.00pm.
sit and go's available at all times, when I only want to be out of the house
for a couple of hours that suits me and my family.
To play tournaments which are all dealer dealt from the off with a secure set
of house rules which is policed and managed according to the club rules
and in the case of dispute the loudest voice does not always succeed.
House rules stand, consistency is vital in disputes
To play in a Poker tournament where collusion is treated with ZERO tolerance.
To pay rake to the house rather than being under pressure to pay other players
to deal in a tournament.
To play at a poker club for poker players away from risking family money on table
games this is a big issue. How many Bridge players would want to go to a casino
to play there chosen game.
To offer clients a great poker experience in a safe and professional environment.
To go to a poker club late on a Friday without waiting in a queue of people refused entry to nightclubs.

I would like to play at Dusk till Dawn because it will be in a dedicated card room, which is desigend specifically with poker players in mind. The facilities will be tailored to poker players, and these will enable the biggest and best choices available to us poker players.
Dusk till Dawn will offer a choice of games that suit the users, rather than the games which suit the casino. Casino's want to get us poker players in the doors, get the poker game over with asap then hopefully move on to the table games where the house never loses. These means the games are reduced massively in skill and enjoyment.
The specific venue of Dusk till Dawn will offer nights specifically for beiginners and will provide a friendly place for people to learn and enjoy learning the game of poker. We will also have a wider choice of the various forms of poker, and larger (more people playing) competitions with a variety of buy-ins.
The DtD blueprint is what the industry should be aimiing at providing for poker players. Which is choice of games, in a dedicated poker room, where the casino's aim is to get us on the games where we are betting against the house.
I live in Liverpool and I will be travelling regularly to DtD (assuming the lscence is granted) because of all of the above factors.

I would like to play at Dusk Til Dawn because it promises to offer
-a safe environment
-run by people who not only understand but love the game
-surrounded by people who are there for the sole purpose of playing poker
-a unique and Europe leading environment
-a clearly defined set of rules and guidelines
-an experience that no other venue locally and nationally is able to provide

I would like to plat at Dusk Til Dawn because, as somebody who enjoys plaing poker socially, it will be great to play in a club run by genuine enthusiasts who understand what players want. To do this in a properly regulated premises is something I look forward to with genuine excitement.

I would like to play in Dusk Till Dawn because......
I want to play in a legal poker room that understands poker players and caters for their requirements, outside a casino environment. I have zero interest in playing casino gambling games, and I believe that only Dusk Till Dawn will offer the sort of poker tournaments that I want to play. I resent the fact that if I wish to play poker I currently only have the choice between visiting casinos who are eager for you to gamble, or illegal poker clubs.

I would like to play at DTD because.........
I wish to play in an environment dedicated to the game of poker.
The management and staff of DTD are poker people that understand the
needs of poker players. They have the complete trust of the poker community
not only in this country but abroad. I do not enjoy playing live poker in a casino
environment. They seem to use poker as a loss leader. Tactics such as requiring
players to register for a tournament a full hour before it begins and ten minute
tournament breaks that seem to last half an hour are some of the lengths these
organisations will go to to drive you to the games of chance. This will not happen
at DTD. I wish everyone connected with it the best of luck.
I live in Glasgow which has good airport links with East Midlands. I envisage being
a regular visitor. I wouldn't have joined otherwise.

I would like to play in DTD because as someone who has had problems with gambling on other games in casinos it will be nice to play without the temptations available in casinos. A club specifically aimed at poker players and not just interested in getting us to play roulette or slots is exactly what is needed for many poker players in the UK and would attract many people to an area of the UK that is in the need of regeneration helping both the tourist industry and creating local jobs.

I would like to play poker at Dusk Till Dawn because I know this club will be run by top professionals and will offer a variety of cash games and tournaments catering exclusively to poker players of all limits and levels.
In the United Kingdom there have been legal precedents showing that poker is skill based, not luck based (as almost all non-poker based games are with winning odds skewed gently in favour of the host or house/casino).
I will be willing to travel to the club periodically from Scotland and give it my full support.
Yours Sincerely,

As a predominantly online poker player, I find it frustrating that I have to travel out of Scotland to get a reasonable live game. I would welcome a poker-only establishment to the UK, especially one of the calibre which Dusk Till Dawn will become. It will be run by a poker player for poker players and will not have the un-wanted distractions and temptation of table games. I plan to visit on a monthly basis when the club opens.

I would like to play at Dusk Till Dawn at it would be the only licensed establishment in the UK which specifically caters for poker players.
It is a venue designed for poker only, so its capacity for such and choice of available games will be far greater than at any licensed casino which offers poker in addition to table games.
I will not be treated as a 'second class' customer at Dusk Till Dawn, due to the fact that I choose not to play table games at a mathematical disadvantage to the house.
All games played at Dusk Till Dawn will be dealer dealt. Most casinos in the UK fail to provide this basic service, as resources are concentrated on the table games. This increases the risk of cheating/collusion taking place.
In short, the live poker product on offer at Dusk Till Dawn will be far superior to that provided anywhere else in the UK.
I live approximately 85 miles away from Nottingham. There are numerous licensed casinos nearer to me than Dusk Till Dawn where I can play poker, should I wish. Consequently, I do not need to travel to a casino in Nottingham to play. However, Dusk Till Dawn is a unique establishment to any licensed casino in the UK and, as a poker player, it has a specific appeal in that it is seeking to cater to my specific requirements as a player. Therefore I would choose to play at Dusk Till Dawn on a regular basis in preference to licensed casinos closer to home. No other casino in the Nottingham area has the same appeal as they offer exactly the same thing as I can already find locally.
