Luton "G" Casino, opinions please!

[tikay]

to be fair, the payout structures were altered/flattened in the summer. I and Jim were consulted as part of that process

Consulted yes  in agreement no

im happy with the breakdown of how many spots get paid but as for the % breakdown i think is terrible and have been asking for this to be changed for weeks

Suggestions please, then, for the % payout structure you think would be reasonable. And, of course, therein lies the rub - as most will disagree on this matter......!

can you mention the toilet paper please tikay, not as soft as im used to at home and a different colour too. (pre wipe of course)

Whats wrong with the prize structure? Thought it was adjusted after consultation.. NO?

For what it's worth, I'm not sure what all the fuss is about at Luton. True, they don't seem to be focusing their attentions on the cardroom, but why should they, they're a business, not a charity that has to cater for the poker community. There is a Stanley down the road and plenty of other venues in London, so if the players don't like it, they can speak with their feet. If this affects their business, then I'm sure Luton will make the changes, but just voicing your complaints on a forum rather than taking a more constructive approach and 'walking the walk', as tikay says, won't make much of a difference.

Snoops, with all respect that is a pretty daft post.

Why would a business spend fortunes creating a class casino and poker room and then not do its best to provide good service and then say'If you dont like it go somewhere else'

Of course they are a business and not a charity that caters to the poker community, why would any sane business not cater for its clientele? Why open up a  grand poker room and not staff it properly? Why open up a poker room and not have sensible payout structures? Why open up a poker room and let it just rot away without trying to put things right?

These things are not 'catering for the poker community', they are basic good sense business procedures yet you indicate that players should just put up with it or go somewhere else.

Reading between the lines  most people are frustrated more than angry because it could be the best but isnt even trying to be good.

As for making changes if it is affecting their business, it clearly has affected it and they clearly havent done anything about it and your last line about voicing complaints on a forum and not doing owt about it is in my view a very strange thing for someone so closely connected to a greeat forum to say, that IS what forums are for, we are supposed to discuss poker things here, good and bad.

If that is the case then thats a good step forward. What are the payout structures now Rich?

[tikay]

As i say Tikay  I love Luton

I feel though i have been caught up too much in the polictics of the place to be able to concentrate fully on my game and at the end of the day that is my primary reason for visiting.  I have had many meetings with both staff and management and i am aware of lots of upcoming changes. I will continue to attend Luton but I wont be there as often as in the past where else can i get a dealers choice game like the one that we sit in most evenings

p.s. i dont have a prob with the chairs

neither does tikay, his arse is never in a tourny seat long enough to work out if its comfy or not

You Kev are soooooooooo dead.

Oh, & by way of sticking it up you, any idea who won the Comp there last night? From a HUUUUGGGGEEEE field.

I heard you came 2nd     AGAIN

how many entered 2?

743. (Approx).

I think it was Red Dog that once suggested that live rooms should take a look at online payout structures and use those, I agree with that.

7 +  4 + 3 = 14 then ?

Hold up, let's get this right. There is something in G-Luton which is good? Careful Kev, you'll get lynched saying such things.

I must confess, I do find those hand-dryers bloody annoying - they are so frigging loud!

There are a lot of things that are good in the poker room but as Bill Parcells said to Tony Romo when he gave him his first start for the Dallas Cowboys 'Dont let good enough be good enough'

My problem with the payout structure isnt the usual is too top heavy or its too flat
my problem is the increases between the levels

example being during the festival the £100 roe   7 places got paid as follows

2,410
1,380
1,040
   830
   620
   410
   210

Each place increases by £200 allowing for rounding until you get to 2nd place    each place should get more of an increase than the place before

OK, so make a suggestion then. Say, 60 runners, and a £100 Freezeout.
