Brilliant... Although this isn't actually my first post as that was on Internet poker... I'm sure my first real post was amazing

Hi guys and gals,

I am sorry to change the topic of payout structures, but as it is my first post on this site, I just thought I would introduce myself to all blondites (and other card room managers, supervisors and dealers) My name is Richard and I am the card room manager of the Broadway Casino. I can only apologise for the delay in my joining your site, my excuse for the delay is, as i hope you can appreciate, i have been rushed off my feet getting it off the ground. After fighting my corner with the big bosses, they have realised the potential of our card room and the tide seems to be turning my way. i have trawled your site for the last few hours and would just like to pick up on a few points and questions that have been asked about our card room.

i would like to apologise to ifm and the wall and any other players confused about our ever changing programme. As we were starting afresh and i didn't know how many and the quality of poker staff we were opening with, i started with three no limit comps. one being a friday. i was told due to staffing levels being low that i must change this to a wednesday. i figured as all card rooms had a texas game on wednesdays, i would try an omaha comp. i can honestly hold my hands up and say catagorically IT WAS A FLOP (pardon the pun). i could go on and on about the reasons we chopped and changed. So to cut a long story short we have settled down now to a regular Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday 20 no limit hold'em comp. However it has surpassed my expectations without any advertising to such an extent that after our Festival in September we will be running a 7 day programme. And plans to expand the card room have already been discussed. Once this is confirmed we will actively promote and inform all players on a regular basis of any changes to our programme.

Dress code-- Yes we do operate a strict dress code policy but not as strict as when we first opened, jeans are allowed as long as they are not ripped, we do not allow any sportswear although smart trainers are now accepted, I would urge anyone to turn up at least smart/casual to avoid disappointment.

Car Park facility-- Yes we pay for the car park, and I must say that it is the safest car park in the Midlands if not the U.K. on top of that there is a service to valet your car whilst you are in the casino during the Afternoon!

Foul Language and bad sportsmanship will not be tolerated, but fortunately all players seem to respect the atmosphere they play in, and players renowned for these offences have realised that this will be the heart of poker in Birmingham, and are not willing to jeopardise their membership. Although I am itching to make an example of someone lol.

Smoking-- Yes it is a non smoking competition, however we do give the option for no-smoking or smoking permitted cash games at either end of the card room.

Results and program can be found at www.thebroadwaycasino.com online applications are available at www.broadwaycasino.co.uk

Thats the Questions cleared up, but quite happy to answer any others or queries

I was highly amused at dani versaces attempt to sound like a customer saying that walsall had blown us out of the water on our opening competition. I also find it amusing that junction 10 when it first opened tried its damnedest to blow the rainbow away with guarantees, when it succeeded and it was the only venue in town it treated the customers like crap. The next guarantee was when we had guaranteed 10000 for an 80 seater 100 freeze out. They made a last minute guarantee of 15000 (funny that) and yet they still took 10% registration fee off their 189 players. So competiton actually increased their revenue and they made 1890 from you players!! Guess what, they have now have some guarantees. Maybe due to a plc being scared and head office allegidly telling J10 to do anything they can to "**** us up" I personally think this is fantastic for all card players. When their league is over i feel there will be some amazing money being splashed around to keep punters there. Waiting for the 2nd week in September to see what gem they come up with during our festival. Will they compete with Grosvenor Blackpools weekend?.....me thinks!

Yogi-- I do realise yours was already planned spoke to the Fox last night. I have also got 2 more CR managers/ head supervisors interested in meeting.

GEE GODS MY FINGERS ACHE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's me thinking I have progressed in the last 7 years ........... sigh

Hi everyone - Daniel here.  Still in shock after yesterday.

Mark, Scott, Antony, Jimmy and Matt (and everyone else on the final table) - you all played fantastic poker, it was just my lucky day.  It was a privilege to play on that table, some great poker and some great people.

Matt - that KQ v TT was the defining hand for me.  If the cards had been dealt the other way round it would have been you and Mark heads up (where again I was the lucky one with that last flop).

Got to thank Des, Tony, Mel and everyone else from the APAT for organising a cracking few days, and the same for the Broadway casino - excellent venue and it all ran very smoothly.

It was great to meet you all yesterday (including Ironside, who was absolute top quality), and look forward to meeting up again soon.  I didn't know about this place until yesterday  - but I'll be spending a bit of time here from now on  if you don't mind?

The forum is great guys - the PR is working.  After coming home to "work from home" at 3pm, I have just finished reading so many threads don't know howI lived without it - and done no work before the $100 rebuy on Prima started.

Anyway - I am off to Vegas on Tuesday - seat less for my frst WSOP - getting more excited by the min.  Can anyone help me with some info on the structure for Super Sats on Tues / Wdnes?  Only got a $10k bankroll and was relying on these.  Are they happening if a sell out? (Although I think that is the Harrahs PR Machine).  Whats the structure?  Likely runners?

Any info would be greatly received - plus some hints on navigating the minefield at Rio to register for these when I get there.

Cheers guys - hopeully see some of you out there

Blatant I thought I was good and off to Vegas....for the recors I did the $10k and owed Skalie a further $k in 10 days, happy days

i still remember the hangover i woke up with that morning

[sovietsong]

Best first post ever?

Why is it that the annonimity that accompanies playing online induces the most deplorably reprehensible language and abuse from seemingly the preponderance of players.
insults that are nothing short of egreadious and would provoke substantial reaction if done in the bricks and mortar game are insouciantly conveyed at the drop of a hat precipitated by nothing more than a bad beat.a multitude of players are abusing the system thus, with compunction and impunity.
Are poker players inherintly contemptable and just very good at duplicitously fiegning humility and magnanomy in the real world only to asuage there anger and frustration by imparting the most pernicious inviduous insults when they get home and play online.
should there be a code of practice that precludes such behaviour and admonishes the perpertraitors with exclusion or suspension depending on the extent to which they have transgressed it?
the nefarious and cowardly element who i would propose never act thus offline, in fear of reprisal, should be filtered out so that human decency, prevalent decorum,and a propensity for reverence can flourish over individual site profit!

Here's my first post on this forum, registered just to say thanks for the coverage. I was at the Vic last night, to see an acquaintance who had won a ticket from last Saturday's satellite. It was mayhem, struggle even to get to the bar,so this is a great service now I can have a scotch in peace.

Is this a joke? I final tabled last year and am selling at 1.0. The standard of this tourn will be slightly above that of the $50R on stars, believe me.

Good luck selling 60%.
