Quick note on the above:
I am lucky enough to have a pretty large living room. Asa slept on the double mattress which had a full duvet set on it - most comfortable floor ever!

I was in there on Monday for the 25/25 Sat which started with 4 runners... eventually got 15 runners but the place is such a dump. There was a glossy flyer on the table announcing a massive refurb... grand opening July 2013, yeah right !

And the lack of runners can only be blamed in a few areas.
1) why build a new G less than 5 miles away in an area that is already overpopulated with card rooms.
2) removing the 25/50 level means unless you massively chip up early, it"s a complete crapshoot within 5 levels.
3) they don"t seem to plan ahead. For months I asked for decent freeze outs on a Saturday night, they stuck it on Sunday...
4) no bank holiday event? Perfect day to run a guaranteed comp starting at 4?
5) very little consistency in rulings. Perfectly good rulings overturned because the regular player wasn"t happy. Also same situations different rulings etc
I"ve honestly no idea how they can get players back apart from point 2. The casino is getting a 25 table card room. Will look like a barn and be empty a lot then..

Still very little poker to report on and just the 1 game of cricket, where on Saturday I played for the 1sts as they were short of players, and we got battered by a Sri Lankan side carrying a former u19 international ( who incidentally bowled like lightning, took 6-12 inc a hattrick and hit me in 4 places!) Managed to bag a wicket bowling as well.
Playing for the 1sts again next week in a much more winnable game, before hopefully going back to the 2nds the week after.
