DUSK TILL DAWN - HAVE YOUR SAY AT THE COURT HEARING..............

[booder]

I Would like to play Poker at Dusk Til Dawn because........I love poker.

I live two and a half hours drive from Nottingham , the home of the proposed club and i would be happy to make this journey two or three times a week ,assured in the knowledge that the clubs sole intention is to provide a safe environment dedicated wholly to the pursuit of poker.
I do not frequent casinos on a regular basis as i have no interest in playing "house games" such as roulette and blackjack, nor am i best pleased when an evenings poker is spoiled by loud music being blasted out all night as so many casinos now provide "entertainment".
I don't want your entertainment , i dont want your house games , i want to play poker, pure and simple.
This club is being set up FOR poker players BY poker players. The owner isn't trying to lure people in to line his pockets , as is the aim of a traditional casino , he is providing a club where ALL persons who wish to play poker can do so in a relaxed,friendly and welcoming atmosphere.
 This club has the potential to be the most prestigious in Europe , from the staff to the decor , all will be of the highest standard.This has to be a good thing,not only for Nottingham but for The U.K also.
The owner has been entirely honest at all times about his intentions and has complied with every legal requirement.
Let the poker players have what they are crying out for...let them play from Dusk Til Dawn.

I Would like to play Poker at Dusk Til Dawn because.......

as a proffessional poker player there are no venues that cater for poker only. Most poker games in the UK operate at casinos and are run by people that don't really have much knowledge about poker.

I think the friendly poker only atmosphere that will be generated by DTD will allow for enthusiasts, proffessionals, beginners to enjoy the game of poker as it was intended to be played.

I would like to play poker at dusk  to dawn because...

Poker is a great game! I will visit the club from Norway because its a poker only game and all the players I know in Norway are talking about Dusk Till Dawn!

I would like to play poker at Dusk till Dawn because at the moment very few casino's run poker the way poker should be run, they are happy just to get bodies though their doors with the sole purpose of exploiting these poker customers via the table games.

DTD will address many issues that serious and casual poker players face in almost every casino in the land. The club will provide safety, professionally run poker on various levels and seek to provide a service to its customers and more importantly it will treat its clients as poker players not gaming fodder.

I would like to play poker at Dusk Till Dawn because over the years I have donated tens of thousands of pounds to the casinos playing games that I do not even like playing whilst waiting for Poker games to start/recommence etc because I am an idiot.  Dusk till Dawn will offer me a way of just playing games I like, at a price I can afford, without tempting me too bankrupt myself whenever I walk through the door.

I would like to play poker at Dusk till Dawn because if i want to play chess i go to the chess club, if i want to play bridge i go to the bridge club, if i want to play golf i go to the golf club. Currently if i want to play poker i have to go to a casino whose main interest is not poker? I do not wish to play blackjack, roulette or slots, but i do not begrudge the casino the right to offer these games because a casino is where you go to play them. I am an amateur poker player and wish to play that game in a dedicated, licensed and controlled poker club......please grant Dusk till Dawn the license to make my wish come true.

I am looking forward to playing at the DTD club.  They offer a secure environment and a good community spirit which is essential in running a good card room.  As a web broadcast company we are looking forward to all the features the new card room has to offer and working with a progressive and forward thinking business.

I would like to play poker at Dusk Till Dawn because :

-  from what I understand it will be a 'world class' facility, i.e. above and beyond what is already available.

-  the current range of games / buy ins offered by casinos is not wide enough. A Poker only club will offer choices which do not currently exist.

-  As a customer I like to feel that a 'supplier' is trying to understand my requirements, and attempting to cater for them. Casinos, to a large extent, do not currently do this, with regards to Poker. I feel that DTD is more likely to.

-  The owner of DTD has impressed me throughout this process.

For me, poker is an enormously satisfying leasure activity that stimulates me mentally, has a great social scene and provides me with an excellent distraction from the stresses of modern life. As a poker player I recognise that I have a choice as to where I can play live poker, my first choice is without doubt, Dusk Till Dawn.

I want to play poker at Dusk Till Dawn because:

1) I want to play poker in a frienfly, dedicated cardroom where the emphasis is put on providing excellent poker games and looking after the poker players needs. I am not interested in playing at a venue where the main emphasis is on table games that are weighted in favour of the casino owner. Dusk till Dawn will be a dedicated, poker only venue offering great games in a fabulous environment.

2) I want to play poker in a safe, regulated environment. I could choose to play in unregulated cardrooms, home games or pub leagues but I would prefer to play in a regulated poker room. I have the utmost respect and admiration for Mr.Yong's steadfast determination to do everything by the book and obtain all the necessary licenses, for that reason Dusk Till Dawn has to be my first choice for playing live poker.

3) I want to patronise a poker venue that is founded on strong moral principals, that will benefit the poker indusrty and community within the UK. I don't want to patronise a venue whose sole motivation is to maximise it's own profit, potentially at the expense of other legitimate poker enterprises. The candid approach Mr.Yong has taken to Dusk Till Dawn is admirable and stands in stark contrast to behaviours exhibited by the large casino groups. I want to play poker in a venue where I trust and respect the owners, Dusk Till Dawn is therefore my first choice in that respect.

I would like to play at Dusk to Dawn because I am looking for a professionally run poker club that is dedicated to games of skill rather than the Casino environment which is dedicated to games of luck. I will travel from Scotland to play at Dusk Till Dawn.

I would like to play at Dusk Till Dawn because it will give me a chance to compete in better structured, player friendly tournaments with a reasonably low buy-in. The games offered by the more established venues are just quick, get it over with type of affairs at the level of money that I am willing to spend for a evenings entertainment. Dusk Till Dawn will allow me to play in the kind of games which I simply can not afford to play at a traditional casino poker room.

 I very rarely go to casinos, maybe 2/3 times a year, but I plan to visit Dusk Till Dawn fairly regularly, it will be a pleasure to attend a venue where my interest in poker is the core of their business and not just seen as a loss leader to get people through the doors and hopefully playing table games.
