[M3boy]

I would like to play at Dusk till Dawn because ....................

I want to play in a safe environment which is dedicated to Poker. ie WITHOUT the temptation of Casino table games .
Poker in Casino's ENCOURAGES gambling as the temptation is too great to play the table games.
There will be no such temptations in Dusk till Dawn as it will be a "Poker Only" venue.

I would like to play at Dusk til Dawn because..

I would enjoy the interaction within a live environment that would be dedicated to poker. I do not like the distractions of a normal casino where quite frankly some poker games are not as professionally run as they could be. Dusk til Dawn will provide a dedicated poker environment catering for the poker player that will be trustworthy and enjoyable. I for one would most definitely travel to such a venue very frequently

I would like to play at Dusk till Dawn because, as an ex cardroom manager (of Gala, Stanley's and independants) in Casino's I know full well how casino's treat poker players, they are treated as 2nd class gamblers (and have actually been told that from numerous directors and managers) that attract people into the club so they have a shot of hitting their wallet on the house games. In fact I left the business as the casino I was working for wished to make the whole cardroom self dealt and charge a registration fee to do so. I believe this will not be the case in Dusk till Dawn as the concept is built from Poker Players and know how a game should be run. As casino cardrooms across the country argue between themselves how best to run a poker tournament, with no uniform rules, a club like DtD has the opportunity of showing the casino's how to do it properly. As such could be seen as the specialised poker club, that casino cardrooms conform to.

Please make the right decision, as poker players have been treated disgracefully since the internet expolsion.

I would like to play poker at DTD because I have had to endure the poor quality poker set up at Leeds Gala for too long.

[Squirmy]

I want to play poker at DTD as I believe poker to be one of the fastest growing passtimes in the country. This growth in custom must be handled correctly and fairly to ALL parties involved and as poker specialists, the management of DTD will ensure that this is the case.

The operation of DTD can only serve to ensure increased safety and responsibility of those wishing to play poker at all levels and I can see no credible argument as to why this club not be granted its licence.

I would like to play poker at DTD because it will allow me to play poker in a safe regulated environment without the temptation to gamble money on table games. 

It will also offer the opportunity to play tournament poker on Saturdays, not currently offered by the existing casino cardrooms

Should DTD be licensed it will undoutedly be the premier UK venue for poker attracting players from throghout the UK and further afield to regular festivals.  Such festivals cannot be held in Nottingham's existing casino venues due to space limitations in their cardrooms

I would like to play at Dusk  Till Dawn

Because i want to play poker in a safe,regulated enviroment.

[boldie]

I would like to play at Dusk Till Dawn because, it will be the UK premier poker venue. In fact it would be the premier poker venue in Europe where both my wife and myself would feel comfortable playing providing a secure poker only venue that I would gladly travel down from Scotland from on a frequent bases.

[Thappers]

I would like to play at 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 also think that Dusk Till Dawn will firmly place Nottingham on the map as the heart of poker in Europe, attracting players from all over the UK and the rest of the world. As a local resident I am hugely excited by the potential of what Dusk Till Dawn will offer Nottingham as a city: a world-class venue dedicated to poker, for poker players, by poker players.
