Aaron 1867 was asking what to expect?
I have been a regular at Genting Salford for some 18 months. Your new card room manager Raf White, ran the card room whilst i was there.
Raf was, is and always will be a poker player. And I hate to admit it, but a bloody good one too.
He got involved in Genting Salford to help promote a new tournament and things just escalated from there.
He ran a hugely successful monthly comp called the Manchester Megastack. the comp was 2 days and had a 12 noon flight and an 8pm flight on day 1. It was £200 + 20 and always carried a guarantee of £20k for 80 runners. The comp was hugely successful and very well supported.
The weekday comps always carried a guarantee and Raf isn't afraid to try new things and welcomes positive suggestions about change. Always remember that you will be talking to a Poker Player when you approach him.
There will be at least 100 Salford / Manchester players making the journey this Saturday to support Raf and get him off to a flying start. This should tell you how highly he is thought of in this part of the world.
After Saturday, I suspect his focus will be the Sheffield GPS leg. After that i suspect that he will be ready to roll out some huge comps.
In terms of cash games, i think his games will grow to become the largest around.
Trust me, this boy really does know what he is doing. Salford's loss will definately be Sheffield's gain. Enjoy
