Excellent news Rob-
I still think that this initiative deserves the support of a few non rookie regulars who could deal..
I would certainly assist.

Thanks for the support guys, you are both very welcome to join and assist. Advice taken re Dealers.

The support of experienced players is vital to the success of this venture. As people who not only enjoy the game but also care about the future of the game, your input and support would be great for beginners to the game.

Too many players develop lazy playing habits. Let's hope we can start beginners off on the right foot.

Imagine a world where all new players stated their intention to raise and the amount. Players who are able to wait patiently for their turn to act. Players who accept that outdraws and dismal hole cards are all part of the game and nothing to blame everyone but themselves for. etc etc.

it is only through the support of players who are patient enough and capable to 'show them the ropes' that such 'model players' can be shaped.

Players who's intentions are contrary to this end will almost certainly be prevented from play. There will be a zero tolerance approach to 'negative player behaviours'

Oh and on an even better note, the prize structure for this competition will differ from the rest. Perhaps you could describe it as being somewhat flatter.

stay tuned for details.

Thanks once again guys Smiley

I'll try and come down, if nothing else I can hopefully set an example of how to act with the raises and things. Dealing may be asking a bit much - I'm not even allowed to deal in my home game*  Cheesy

I'll definitely be along for these. My pocket is at a real stretch even at 20 rebuys so a 10 game sounds great.

I'll try and sell the idea to some of my home game occassional players, give them a taste of casino poker

Sry Tikay. Crossed wires.

Yes. I was at the last one.

However, earlier on in the thread, rob said that they could only be played on bank holidays because they were 2 day events.

I was just wondering if there was a reason why they couldn't be played over staurday and sunday like they are in Walsall.

I suspect it's because the bigger - 100 & 250 buy-in jobbies, really do need House Dealers, and that's a problem still to be solved at Gala. (softly softly...). But watch out for an August Bank Holiday special.

Good to hear some good news from Notts after the other thread. I will be supporting the new tuesday night, hopefully it will be good fun and show the good side of the game at Notts. As there is alot to be said for the majority of people up there and the banter at the table some nights is really good fun. Can also put on record my thanks to Rob for his patience/ committement to the cause and with the help of good majority we will hopefully eridicate the problems we have.

ppps i cant make either as bank holiday monday is treated as a sunday and eastern airlines (only people that fly to newcastle and east midlands from aberdeen) dont fly on a sunday

whats is it about bank holidays that make people want to hold poker events
