"Dusk till Dawn" Poker Club In Nottingham Diary (by Rob Yong)

[ripple11]

I received this PM today, I've added it to my diary as I think its very well put.


Rob,



Your typical customer is most probably not prepared to pay any kind of premium for customer service


Best regards

Being fairly new to the Poker scene, I haven't played a lot of live poker yet,but the casinos I have played at, have left a bit to be desired when it comes to facilities and customer service.
I for one, would gladly pay a premium for what I hope and believe a club like DTD is going to offer...... ,excellent poker facilites,knowledgible friendly staff,good quality restaurant/bar/lounge. I would like a place where I can take any non playing wife/girlfriend/lover along and feel she is enjoying the evening as well !

Keep going Rob, one last push,.....

[Dingdell]

I'll pay for customer service - you have to anywhere else - so why not at a place 'where everyone knows your name'. 

I think DTD will be the UK version of Cheers, familiar faces, all life revolving around the club, a welcoming place to go, and a great community feel about the whole place. Lets just hope there isn't a 'Norm' who never pays his bar bills. I'm just pleased it's within driving distance for me (just) and it is quicker to get home the later I stay!

It will be fantastic - this is the cold feet feeling people get just before the dawn, when the night is at it's darkest.

Roll on the opening

Keep your chin up Rob, you have an awful lot of people rooting for you.

I always thought that your target market, poker players, is a group that are not appreciative, have no value for money and do not want to put in any real work for reward.  [/i]

Rob, replace "poker players" with "people" and it will still be true.

I've been involved with organising events both in work and "play", and trust me, people are always happy to tell you are doing it wrong ( i.e. not their way).
Also whinge about how it was organised...but never do diddly themselves.
Just human nature I think. Ask the APAT boys lol.

[Dubai]

Poker players in general are horribley tight when it comes to expenditure outside of poker.

They try to save money by using buffet coupons instead of eating in decent restaurants, they book cheap hotels when going away, they fly economy and moan the whole way and then do £5k in the casino and not care. So in general they will want something for nothing. But you must have known this anyway. Youve only got to read poker forums and see people moaning about the price of food in casinos when they are playing an EPT and stuff. Ridiculous imo.

I thought expenses were a killer?

Now folk say they're inconsequential.

Dubai's expenses rival those of Nigeria!

Some of the lesser mortals need to pinch pennies still.

[I KNOW IT]

I dont think Dubai is criticising those who stay in cheaper hotels, just those who moan about it and walk a mile to save a quid on meal because they dont want to break into their " gambling" money. They lose the whole perspective on spending money and want everything for nothing and wont give anything in return.
 Whilst waiting for the 5k tourny to start they do 3k on the roulette and then moan they are being charged 2 quid for a sandwich

[thetank]

If I spunk 3k on the wheel I want a complimentary sarnie too.

[KingPoker]

I think if you spunk on the wheel you might be chucked out!

[ariston]

Are people trying to suggest that we dont get free hotel, free food, free drinks and free lapdances included in our juice when we play at DTD? I would be hoping for a decent hotel as well, none of that 4 star business Rob.

hope you are having a better day today

lol, I recall from a fair old few years back....I blew a couple of hundred in the bookies, so took the little pen with me when I left.
It became known as my £200 pen, and I held onto it for a fair old while...sod the parkers.
